Well, I live in Springfield and always have......so I've been to bout all of the ones here. They used to be awesome, but Special Events or whoever it was pretty much ruined it. Raising prices to where it was $65 or so to put the car in and got nothing really. And the gate price was like $15 a head for spectators. Just too much IMO. The local police did not help matters too much also.
Wow, stories.....LOTS of "after show" festivities in the beginning needless to say!! I am still amazed that nobody was ever hurt! The local dragstrip has had their big event of the year that weekend for the last 20 or so years also. But if you didn't want to go there, you could stay in town and see plenty of racing on the streets!
Pictures? That will be hard to find some good ones, but I'll try. I heard that it is coming back here next year, truth??
