Big Dawg,
That brings back some great memories.

in Bakersfield.  They had an awards presentation at the Doubletree and then 
we went out
to the parking lot and they fired up three Nostolgic Nitro top fuelers and 
two early Funny cars.
Really neat stuff along with all the Hot Rods in the parking lot- sorry no 
Panteras.
Saturday had more old Drag cars than I have ever seen. While roaming around 
the 
event there was a want to be Pantera- a Countach S with a blown V-8 sitting 
in the engine
bay.  Many known cars ran all day long.  That night they brought out 
approximately 50 cars 
mostly Nito Powered and fired them all up at the same time and ran them past 
the
crowd approximatey 5' from the fence.   Ah the smell of Nitro and to see them 
under the lights made me think I was still 16 years old.
