Race at OCA Nationals

Who's gonna race at the Nationals, Eddyville Raceway near Eddyville, Iowa, July 6? They also will have a BOP race July 7.

We have arrangements for the race cars, and others, to enter and leave the inside show field. Not liking 100 degrees and 100% humidity, and at least a 50% chance of rain every day, the indoors venue may be real nice. It will also help with my sunburn, lol.

Like I said over on ROP, we will probably make the 4 hour tow to race.

Nick of American Racing Headers is generously supporting our OCA race at Eddyville next Friday. Winners and runners up in Pro and Super Pro, and show stock winner, will be happy! Come race with us and relive the 1960s Gasser Wars--we have two Olds powered ****** gassers attending the show and race.

Sign up for the show also. Steve Mestad has saved a few indoor spaces for the last-minute guys and gals. Call him and fax him your registration. That way you are eligible to win prizes at the race.

oca race

Well, the racing was alot of fun. The racing community within oca has some great guys. The pro guys let us rookies join them for a night of excitement. Everyone at the eddyville track and oca racers were very helpful and understanding with the ones of us that were there for fun. I didn't win a prize but i had alot of fun and started a long learning process for drag racing. I ran my stock 1970 442 thru test and tune and a gamblers race and the oca elimination. last 2 passes my car started vapor locking (100 deg plus) and i got beat by an olds achieva. Still had fun, you win some and lose some.
