Heck Yes Jeff, Bring Da-Vette.

I'm hoping to be sporting my MK-4 in Red Gelcoat since I sold my 1995 Vette to my pal because his wife hates me.
Baby Go-Dad will be in his 2000 Camaro, which is currently getting his new Sunoco Hood painted.
Shown below is my former cuiser and Baby Go-Dad's Hot Rod!

PS: I sold my pal the C-4 for $2,000.00 because he wouldn't accept it as a gift so is wife is now Really P-----d at me now!

Hey Steve, Do you know how long it has been since NHRA held the Cajin Nationals? We attended one year, 1984 or 1985. The track was somewhere west of NOLA if I remember correctly. One of the Pro Stock drivers was killed at the race. -- Chuck

Chuck,

I'm not sure when the Cajun Nationals ended, but the track (State Capital Dragway) is located West of Baton Rouge.
They still race there and the facility is starting to make a come back; however, they can't handle the Nitro Cars.
