(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) – The white, Canadian Pontiac Strato Chief wagon ran itself right past the 150 mark to a 151.4mph best.  We dig the classics and Steve Robey’s ’55 is one of our favorites.  The classic, unspoiled lines of the timeless ’55 that sailed to 156.8mph is hard to beat.  Mike Warren’s ‘World’s Fastest Model T Coupe’ didn’t disappoint as it went just under 206mph.  The twin-turbo BBC was singing the song of our people loud and clear.  Joe Jolly and son made the haul and brought out their 4-eye Mustang hatch then herded it up to 186.4mph.  Records aren’t all about who went the fastest.  It’s more about getting the most out of your combination.  The competitors and fans alike cheer if someone is trying to break 80mph or 240.  Everyone studies, tunes, and struggles to get that next tenth.  Seeing a cool 1972 Norton Commando run 130mph was quite a deal and is no less a spectacle than a modern super bike running 200+.  Come on out and have a look for yourself if you haven’t been.  If you do I can almost guarantee you’ll be back.
