As we look back from this past weekend on the Spring Nostalgia Drags at Midstate Dragway, we just want to say thank you to everyone who made this weekend so special.
To all of the racers who brought out incredible cars, put on a great show, and traveled from near and far to be with us — thank you for your support and passion for nostalgia drag racing.
To the spectators who filled the stands and supported the event all weekend long — thank you for spending your time with us and helping create such an amazing atmosphere at the track.
And most importantly, thank you to our track crew, EMT's and everyone working behind the scenes. Your hard work, long hours, and dedication are what keep events like this running smoothly. We are incredibly grateful for the effort each and every one of you put in to make this event seamless from start to finish.
Friday night was a great time as well with The Jason Wells Band! They absolutely rocked it!
We are proud of what this event has become and thankful to have such an amazing racing community behind us. We cannot wait to do it again in the fall!
Finally after such a long wait, the SHOWERS ARE OPERATING and we are proud of how they turned out! Everyone can do a happy dance now cause I know I am! Special shoutout to Brew City Gassers crew for helping out getting them going and Brent Milnes Plumbing out of Jacksonville Illinois.
Congratulations to the winners and runner ups!
