  • The Vintage Drags at the Allentown Fairgrounds is one of our favorite local events, and we are so happy it has returned in 2021. The event was started by our friend Ej Kowalski and Bill Rowe, and they had two successful events in 2019. Matt brought out the Pagoda City Coupe to race, and Mike brought a helmet to ride along! There will be a fall event on October 16th & 17th so be sure to mark it on your calendar!!

    That's one sketchy, slippery track! But that's probably how it was done back in the day.
    Cool there's so many locals with such cool rides that fit this genre/era.

    Love me these old timey drag races! It's like listening to a kick ass '60's rock band after nothing but hair bands, disco, and EDM.

  • @dalenielsen7054
    @dalenielsen7054 Před 3 lety +6

    You’re right “that was fun”, thanks for bringing us along for the ride. It really warms my heart to see you kids have so much fun with those old “Jalopys”. Let the good times roll!

    Can't believe a race and no Pete with 32 not attending He is probably checking out 32B-400 or 32sedan delivery that's been stashed for 50yrs or so just saying. Also guy's back in the day must had smaller heads because every vintage helmet I found can barely get on.
