Bruce Larson's 13th Annual Dragfest
Until about two weeks ago, I had no idea that an event this cool was taking place 2 hours south of where I live. A friend mentioned something called "Dragfest" and I was without a clue. We probably all are familiar with the Red, White and Blue "USA-1" Camaros and Corvettes -- well, this event is hosted by the guy who owned and drove those cars, Bruce Larson, winner of the 1989 NHRA Funny Car National Championship (you can Google or Wiki his name if you are not familiar with him).
Anyway, for the past 12 years he has hosted an event at his place in Dauphin, Pennsylvania, "Stoney Creek Barn" which is just north of Harrisburg. I was blown away by what I saw and some of the names in attendance at this gathering. Here are the pics:
This is a car a lot of you may recogonize -- Arnie "The Farmer" Beswick campaigned this '65 Mercury Comet. It had a "For Sale" sign on the dash with an asking price of around $299,000. At the end of the day the Comet had a new owner.

Jeff,
Great pictures!
My Dad ended up going and had a great time. I just got back into town and I will snag his pictures when I can. He said it was a great time.
USA-1 chevelle was his first funny car.
