Well, here we go again

It has been a while since I have done any official Speed & Chrome articles. So, I may need to scrape off some rust in order to get back into the swing of things. Hope you like it and stay tuned for more cool stuff. Shoot me an email. I am always looking for content. This is all new but I am sure we can work in some mini features on your cars/trucks/bikes or whatever. Send me the stuff here, lance@speednchrome.com

I will also be doing product reviews starting soon.

This blog will eventually be posted on the speednchrome.com site, but for now, bookmark this page and check back often.

Okay, enough of that, lets talk cars.

Eagle Field Drag races, wow. I had the pleasure of attending this event back in October. This was their first event. Picture an old WWII Army Air Field, thats the stage. Then think back to pictures of some of the earliest drag races from the 50's that took place at some of these ol' air fields and you will begin to see what this race was all about.

Rocky Phillips of Fresno Ca. and volunteers put this little event together and it was a blast. It took place down in Dos Palos California, west of Fresno, out in the middle of nothing really. Let me set the stage for you. Bring out your pre 65 hot rod and run it on the 8th mile runway. No timing lights, no times, only a flag man to start you and away you go. FOR FUN, imagine that, all this to have some fun.

Now some news about the next race, May 22, 2010 and if your anywhere near the central valley, you wont want to miss it. Go here for more information, www.eaglefield.net. Almost forgot, the next race is a Fresno Dragways reunion race and they are looking for guys who ran there cars there years ago. If you did, then you could be a special VIP guest at the next event. Contact Rocky at 559 442 0126 or at lbrtoys@yahoo.com

For this next race they moved the year up to 73 and older. So bring out your ride and run it hard.

Here are some pics from the Oct. event.
