The year of the great flood!!!
I was there racing at that event also. Didn't have a clue a couple of hours later I would need a boat to get out of Texas. It was fun though.
Looking at all the pics sure brought back memories of when racing was real fun.
Steve you looked much younger and less stressed out back then! But then again we all did.

LOL.. no doubt.. my 89 GTU started acting funny on the way home so I ditched it at my work @ 610 & Braeswood (a couple of miles from the house) little did I know the parking lot would have several feet of water in it by the morning.

My GTU passed away that weekend, another casualty of TS Allison.

FWD done right.

What an awesome thread. Thanks for the read and pictures.

I love drag racing stories. I've only got one though, and it ends badly so I'll save it.
