Nostalgia: West Coast Showcase, Part 1

lead1.jpgI have to say the Nostalgia series on NSDN has been a ton of fun piecing together so far. I hope you, the readers, are having as much fun looking through this stuff as I am. Last week I received a package from Brian Chapman filled with amazing photos. He obtained these photos from the collection of the legendary Bucky Ray. I have to extend a huge thank you to both of these guys as there are some true treasures within these photos. These photos will be broken up into a few different segments throughout the next few weeks. I also have to thank Brian for taking the time to burn up some phone minutes & go through these photos with me to provide some great insight for photo captions. Anyways, read on and enjoy.

tbjeeplead10.jpgThe 2011 sand drag racing season got off to a quick start in January, however things slowed down some in February and March. NSDN did our best to pass along any info sent to us regarding upcoming events and also presented an excellent Nostalgia series. I have to give a huge thank you out to everyone who has sent in material for the Nostalgia features. These pieces have been great so far, and there is definitely plenty of material to continue to post up as we go down the road.
