(Words and photos by Dennis Vos) – <\/strong><\/em>On the same weekend as the Main Event was held, I received a warm welcome while attending the Shakespeare County Raceway during their\u00a0Public Track Weekend & Yanks Inc NASC Gary’s Picnic. This event is smaller in comparison with the Main event, but non the less a great day out to experience some high quality racing.<\/p>\n

After meeting with some racer friends who I had not seen for a long time and sucking down a nice coffee, \u00a0I headed to the track. I was was greeted with a nice lineup of cars including a wide variety of gassers. I do have to say it was a nice way to see a different side of the drag racing I am used to and this was for me as a photographer very pleasant, not to see the same things twice in one weekend. Also the track is for the audience very accessible.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately as you already know Shakespeare County Raceway is scheduled to close down in the near future, due to housing plans on the property. Good thing is we can still enjoy a solid year of racing in an “oldskool” friendly way.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
