PICTON AIRFIELD ARMDROP DRAGS
« on: May 13, 2013, 04:23:25 PM »
This Saturday May 18 at historic Picton Airfield in beautiful Prince Edward County the Armdrop group will once again host a day of drags. There  is always also a car show and bike show. Bob Beazer , famous for his rain dance performances at NHRA National events on the 60s and 70s will be in attendance , in costume, flagging some of the vintage cars. Word has it some of the old signage from nearby Mohawk Drags has been found in a barn and will be on display for some photo ops for some of the old dudes from back in the day. The usual slingshot match race between Dulmage and Doornbos is expected to take place again. So far Doornbos has won 7 out of 12 races. Expect everything to be there from old Willlys gassers to modern Camaros,  Mustangs and Challengers. Gates open at 10. Runs start at 12 and will run NONSTOP to 5 PM. It is not unusual to see over 600 runs during one of these events. This group really knows how to "get er done".  No prizes. Some trophies if you want to enter for them but FUN.

$5 to watch $20 to run.

Picton Airfield Armdrop Drags has set Fall date, Sat Sept 28. Vintage race cars are always welcome. Always an assortment of FEDs Altereds and Gassers. Even had a couple of REDs over the years.
