If you ask an old timer when the golden age of drag racing was you'll get plenty of different answers. One thing they all seem to agree on is that those days are gone. Since 1987 Goodguys has aimed to bring the old school fun and thrills of vintage drag racing to today. The Vintage Drags are full of outrageous cars, costumes, and personalities.
"Our two Friday Night Vintage Drag Races in Columbus, Ohio and Puyallup, Washington bring back the good old days of run-what-ya-brung, under-the-lights family fun! Thrill-show exhibition cars, Hot rod Gassers, Street Machines and flame-throwing, Nitro Funny Cars and AA/Fuel Altereds are featured under the lights old school style!" -GoodGuys
Columbus had hundreds of local racers flocking to the track to run-what-they-brung in a night full of Nitro fumes barreling down the quarter-mile at National Trail Raceway. The 31st Pacific Northwest Drags was held at Pacific Raceways. The Chicago-Style race format was headlined by a battle of 2 1969 Camaros, with Bobby Cottrell taking the W and keeping the bragging rights in the Pacific Northwest. Cottrell ran low elapsed time of the night in that final round posting a 5.703 ET at 250.37mph to claim the win.

So what’s wrong with bringing the show to Houston Raceway Park (Baytown)? We have had several continuously active dragstrips since the late 60s in this area. The traveling people – will be here; it is what they do. With some active and persistent promoting – Seth – you’ll fill the place up the way you did when Pinks All Out came to town If you remember, the vendors sold out of T-shirts any you sold out of Beer. How often can you say that? Furthermore, you will generate more local enthusiasm and patronage for Gasser classes, and Fuel Altereds than you can shake a stick at. People love them because they are so unpredictable. That is what current NHRA racing lacks. It is all cookie cutter stuff, except Comp. (If you) Bring it! (They will come!)
