Happy Memorial Day!
(or Victoria Day, if you are up north)
Despite the horror of the current national “leadership,” the fine folks at Drag City still found the fortitude to stage a patriotic party for the occasion, with a 5-Lap set for Muscle Cars featuring the “sudden death” format. This unforgiving elimination method makes quick work of less skilled drivers, in which a single crash or deslot is an automatic DNF. It was both a quick day and a fast day, but an exciting one, and a crowd favorite took the trophy!
The “Final Battle” came down to a fight between two rivals that are both frequently seen in the last elimination rounds: “White Lightning,” the ’67 Chevelle Malibu SS396 of Shane “Storm Rider” Sutherland, faced off against “Low Flyer,” the candy gold 1970 Olds 442 W-30 driven by Roy “Railbender” Ruskin.
But whatever happened to Hammer Harrison and the Plymouth, did you have to send him back to driving school? 🙂
Jesse “Hammer” Harrison is still doing very well with “Indestructible,” his “barn find” ’58 Belvedere; for a big old rustbucket, that thing MOOOVES!
