I have to agree that i have been to all the shows and this had to the best by far!!! I'll try to post up my pic's later today, but for any one who is a fan of the Missile program that was the place to be.. about 5pm saturday when they rolled 4 of the original Missile's and the fresh prepped body of the 5th together for a "Family Picture " that was way cool. Then to have been one of the 40 people who sat in the room Sunday and listened to the original Missile Crew talk about the history of the cars as well as the building of the cars, was awesome. I would loved to have gotten to hear the whole story of the " private race" between the Mopar team's on a closed track. My two favorite stories had to be either the story of Joe P and D Oldfield hanging out the window taking the Aero pics of the Duster. Or the story about driving the hauler back from Detroit and the " Special Oil Feed " system that was developed on the way back.... Again Kudo's to Nancy Wilson for another awesome weekend it take a monsterous effort to get that many cars in one place, situated, and everybody leave happy and looking forward to next year..

I would also like to thank Hemifred for the chance to sit in the seat of where another of my drag racing hero's sat. All through a charging issue keep me from getting The Sox Duster down the track, the chance to strap in to Ronnie's seat and look down the same same hood as he did was another memory I'll never forget!!! Thanks again Fred

Chris

I have to agree, they did a rolling thunder type deal where they started @ the top of the street and just rolled down the street, as one would shut off they fired up another from Funny cars to Pro Stockers down to the fuel alterds and the front eng dragsters. Totaly cool!!!!

The Motown Missle Family returned home for the reunion and was more than happy to start off the annual cacklefest. Only one person should have been up on the wheel for the event. Joe and the Missle did not let everyone down. Thanks guys and I am sure the Carlton Family enjoyed their reunion.

Now how do you end a Drag Racing Reunion cacklefest that starts with the Motown Missle other than the sights and sounds of a blown Hemi on Nitro?

as per the story told sunday by Joe P, he was behind don holding on to the roll bar @ 150 mph.. he said Mr Tom Hoover warned him that maybe he should wear a helmet as so not to bump his head getting in and out of the car

I carried my video camera with me Sunday i have not had a chance to preview the footage, if it's good i'll make you a copy Stewart.

They also told a story of the time Dick and Don took their son's to the track.. The deal was after every pass the boys were to check in, if they made a good pass they we're going to load up for the day and go.. We'll they made a pass to their liking, loaded up left went to dinner, then back to the motel and were getting ready to turn in for the night when Sox & Martins transpoter pulled out and out jumped the two boys.

I swear to you this panel discuss was beyond anyones comprehension how much fun it would be and what these guys were going to reveal about the Motown Missle, Chrysler Corp. and the guys who worked with this program. Even Roy Hill and Hubert Platt sat all the way through the two hour event. It is too bad you did not put this photo into the slide presentation you prepared for them.
