  • hoping to get in on DW this year!

    Hello folks,

    My name is Scott Brown. This will be my first try at DW. My co-dog will be Charles Wickham. I have a 53 Belair with a 5.3 and small turbo that i want to run in the DD class. Really looking forward to this event and meeting new friends!

    Can ya`ll give any pointers to surviving DW for a newbie? Thanks!

    here is a pic from the Day of the Drags near Austin last year.

                      Maybe Chas can be Sergeant at Arms or Roving Reporter whilst channeling Charles Bukowski and Hunter Thompson and pen Fear and Loathing while Wageless.
