BEE ON VIDEO by Jim Amos |
OLD TIME DRAGS #116 COME ALONG ON A TRIP BACK IN TIME WITH THE PARTICIPANTS OF THE 1994 OLD TIME DRAGS AT ISLAND DRAGWAY. FOLLOW THE INITIATION OF A NEW DRAG RACER AS FATHER, AND FAMOUS DRAG RACE ARTIST, JOEL NAPRSTEK INTRODUCES HIS SON PAUL TO THE QUARTER MILE IN THE SAME KIND OF CAR JOEL USED AT THE ISLAND BACK IN THE 1960'S. YOU WILL ALSO SEE ALL THE DRAG ACTION AS THE EAST COAST ROD AND CUSTOM ASSOCIATION AND THE EASTERN STATES TIMING ASSOCIATION DO THEIR THING ON THE TRACK. IN ADDITION TO THE DRAG PROGRAM THERE WERE PLENTY OF GREAT LOOKING SHOW CARS. ONE OF THE CARS AT THE SHOW HAD THE NAME VARGO DRAGWAY ON IT AND IT WAS DRIVEN BY JAKE VARGO. JAKES FAMILY OPERATED THE QUAKERTOWN, PA. AREA TRACK BACK IN THE 1960'S. THE STRIP CLOSED DOWN IN THE 1970'S BUT IT STILL SITS THERE LIKE AN OLD GHOST TOWN. JOURNEY WITH US AS WE REVISIT VARGO. I ALSO INCLUDED SOME OLD MOVIE FOOTAGE OF THE WAY THINGS USE TO BE. THIS TWO-HOUR TAPE IS VERY ENTERTAINING AND COMBINES BOTH THE PAST AND THE PRESENT. |
