Drag racing and vanning have gone hand in hand since the early days. Many van runs were held at drag strips like Nationals Trails and Englishtown. So when I heard that Tom was considering bringing Blastro and Headstone to the Nats a light went off.
I contacted National Trails and asked them if there was anything happening that week. There is a Wednesday night grudge race. They are willing to work with us on this. The vans will have to be NHRA approved to race.

Coop and Karson will be getting in touch with Tom to see if he can come. Then we'll start working on everyone else.

Let's say this all works out. How many of you would be interested in going to this ? National Trails is 55 minutes from the Nats grounds. The racing starts at 7:30 which would give you time to particpate in the Vanners Night In that will be moved up to 5:00 pm if this works out. If there is enough interest we might be able to arrange transportation.

So who wants to see some good ol fashioned van racin' ?

A Great idea, but unfortunately I'll be working during the week. I'd love to see a vannin at a Drag strip. To see Blastro, Jarvis and Karson all in one day would be Awesome.

This is a good start. Coop and Karson will try to get a confirmation out of Tom to have Blastro and Headstone there. Jarvis is on the fence saying it's too early to commit ... so someone needs to work him over lol .
Let's hope for the best for Karson as he has been through a lot lately healthwise but he's on the mend.
As for the other hi-po vanners from Ohio and beyond that aren't on here please get in touch with them to let them know about it.
This is still not a done deal. So it's important that we have our end tied up as soon as we can.
