A friend of mine is putting together a Nostalgia Drag Race. He said they have about 40 cars lined up to race at the event. The track is in Benton, IL its about 90 miles south and east of Saint Louis, Mo. Its a nice little track and raced there when I lived in IL. My hometown is about 20 miles away. The guy putting the race together a long time friend races a 67 Fairlane a replica of the Downing and Ryan car (The Going Thing). It was on the cover of Hemmings Motor News about 2 years ago.
