And 74 I had a 55 Chevy convertible and a station wagon four-door and a girlfriend ha ha ha I think I’ve been to star once I’m not sure me ann nod a buddy of mine, I’ve known since we were 10 drove up somewhere to an oval dirt stock car truck I’m not sure where we were or what the name of it was. Does that sound familiar? In fact I still keep in touch with that kid. I just talked to him on the phone last night, he’s doing really good as a body shop in Tennessee now and still works.

it sure pays to know people a guy put mine on a drop deck and hauled it 60 miles for 100 bucks,,,i didnt know him,,,,but he was tight with the guy i was storing it at,,bob

i think the same guys did all of the track ads,,,,when i moved to california,,,,i heard what sounded like the same guys out there doing radio commercials or maybe all upcoming events

well tom most of the time they start building too many houses around them,,,when originally the track was built way before they started building there sucks most of the california tracks were closed due to it,,,,and yes geoff,,,i remember those radio ads,,,,seems they used to boast sunday sunday sunday new england dragway day carlsbad ca and pensa cola both closed now and they were both on my short bucket list,,,,atleast sonoma ca is right in the middle of grape vine territory theres no houses around it,,,,just winerys,,,im sure the place is safe for now anyway,,,,i try to go out there every couple years

We used to go there quite a bit when we were a teenagers. I haven’t been there since about 1974. I just looked it up on Google to see if it was still there and it says yes it’s still standing and it’s still active but it says they closed on Saturday And Sunday this did not sound right to me. Does anybody know anything about the place or is that a misprint or what’s the deal weekend? That’s when everybody is off why would the drag strip be closed? I figured somebody would know. Thanks, Bob.

On a happier note I did get to meet 2 very cool people that had Mack parts I needed thru ATHS and I did like the wheels of time.. bob

Joey see what you started!!!!!

lol I dumped them years back money money and my chapter did absolutely nothing for us last straw was when they threw thier Christmas party on thanksgiving weekend.. and most of us were outa town.. I’d had enough of them

Truck looks to be really good shape. Good luck great find.. bob

best of luck we have commercial antique here also you dont even need a truck license here to drive them ,,,long as no HM and no working it for money i havent tryed to do anything with mine,,,but i have a clean title signed over 25 years ago,,,and it still isnt road ready yet,,,but im wondering if thier going to ask for a bill of sale ??????

And Geoff I remember when caterpillar had to spend like $4 million on an Internet system because they were starting to fall behind somewhere around 98 I used to deliver it to them on one of my Freight jobs back then

Took some a little bit longer to go under than others really missed the pension. I missed mine by about a month of being vested it only woulda been around 200 a week since the company was gone, but that’s certainly better than nothing

yeah a gone by era,,,,most of those companys paid real well and couldnt make it after deregulation ,,,,aaaaahhhh the good ole days,,,bob

thanks for that tom,,,,i knew i wasnt going (TOO) senile i couldnt even find photos of garrett i used to see lots of thier trucks in california,,,all of a sudden they were gone
