I've been there the last few years, always a good event for those of us who remember a lot of the older drag cars.






Dragstrip Memories event on April 19, 2015 at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum

Looks like a fun cruise. Anyone want to meet up at yorkdale and go from there say around 9:30. Also if any others east of yorkdale can set up a meeting spot and we can hook up.
Please post if you are interested in going.

I attended yesterday as well. (Took virtually the same photos!)
It was my first time there and a great show! It is a bit small but great cars and models. Also REALLY enjoyed the Warplane museum.

I would encourage folks to remember this show for next year.

Great Shots Wayne ! Would have liked to have been there, but didn't get home in time.

Next year for sure !

Great pics! Those cars are a TRIP
Could have spent hours pouring over all the details, how speed was made back before the aftermarket existed as it does today, back when you had to be designer, engineer, fabricator - and often racer and parts boy all in one. As they say, back when racing was dangerous and sex was fun.

I had immovable family stuff Sunday but next year, as others have already said, definitely going to make it out to the next show.

Really enjoyed this show in the past. Anyone know if, and where, it will be held this year? No information at all on the Warplane Heritage Site and I searched Google.

I just checked with the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum and there are sadly NO PLANS to have this event in 2017.

I was hoping that it was still a go but at another location.
