The 2009 edition of the Jalopy Journal HAMB Drags was held at Mo-Kan Dragstrip in Joplin, Missouri, on August 22, 2009. Two intrepid BangShift.com forum members, Andy Bishir and Cobey Clarkson, attended and brought their cameras to document all the vintage action. There’s some killer stuff in this gallery of nearly 150 photos. We’re jealous of these guys because it looked to be a hoot!
If you like traditional hot rods and vintage drag machinery, this gallery is right in your wheelhouse. Andy and Cobey did a great job capturing the action in the pits and some of the stuff going on between the guardrails on the track. Mo-Kan Dragstrip was opened in 1962 and still has the feel of one of those historic tracks that has seen the evolution of drag racing. It’s a perfect place for this event.
Thanks to Andy and Cobey!
