On the first Wednesday of every
month the NHRA Wally Parks Motorsports Museum holds a cruise
night in the main parking lot. On July 6th some cacklecars were
thrown into the mix. Here are a few shots from the event plus
a couple of cool videos by Bill PItts at the bottom including
one of all the cars and the debut of the restored McEwen Tirend
car.
