BIGGEST NOSTALGIA FUNNY CAR FIELD EVER THIS WEEKEND AT CORDOVA NOSTALGIAFEST FRI & SAT, JUNE 26 & 27

It is time for the NostalgiaFest of Drag Racing (an NHRA Hot Rod Heritage Series Affiliate Event) this Friday and Saturday, June 26 & 27 at Cordova Dragway Park.

With what appears to be biggest Nostalgia Funny Car pre-entry list in the Midwest in the last 30 years, Scott Gardner, owner of Cordova Dragway said, “We know that the quantity and quality of the cars will most likely supersede any previous nostalgia race here or in the Midwest”.  In addition to the Funny Cars, the powerful Nitro Nostalgia Top Fuel Dragsters and Nitro Fuel Altereds will also run. “In all I would guess we will have nearly twenty nitro entries on the grounds this weekend” continued Gardner.

In addition to the nitro cars, there will be many other special feature vehicles. Included on the appearance list are the Nostalgia Super Stocks, Geezer Gassers, Super Shifters, special exhibition cars including Arnie “the farmer” Beswick, Animal Jim, the Grocery Getter, Blastro Van and much more. Also now added to the feature show is the Chevy Rebellion Wheelstander (one of the first original wheelstanders in the Country), an amazing Jet Car, and the only Midwest appearance of legendary announcer “Berserko Bob” Doerrer.

In addition to the racing action, the flying Eye-Ball Car Show will take place Saturday beginning at 11 AM plus a special Show Car exhibit as well. More than a dozen vintage drag cars will be on display with over half being museum pieces including several Arnie Beswick cars, The “Hawaiian” Funny Car, and others.
