(Words and photos by James Champion) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>When the tv stars come to you local track it gets packed out even with the threat of bad weather looming. We had rain, lighting, and a tornado all in one weekend around Alabama’s Cottonwood Drag Strip but it did not keep the people away.<\/p>\n The cars and the stars could have loaded up and gone home but they stayed and put on one hell of a show . It took until almost midnight on Sunday to finish but they got it all in with a packed house, to boot. I have never seen such great people with the kids as this crew of racers were. JJ Da Boss was always talking with them and cutting up with anyone of the kids that he could. If there was a break or downtime he would go up in the stands with all the people and hang out, take photos, and sign things.<\/p>\n His wife, as he calls her the midget, was in the pits foot racing with a whole group of kids. In my opinion things like this are what can fix drag racing. The way they were with the fans was just so good. This man and his crew were not high and mighty, they were just good ol’ folk and happy to be at Cottonwood. As you’ll see in one of the photos, JJ is \u00a0sitting with a young kid talking to him. “This is the future of drag racing,” is what JJ told me after the conversation.<\/p>\n I have worked a lot of event gotten to see a lot of stars just to be let down by fake people, but this group are as real as me and you. I was so impressed. It is going to be hard to top this show for our local track here in Cottonwood, Alabama. \u00a0Always remember that the young kids of today are what we will all be watching in the future so when a group of tv stars take time to make them want to come back it is something we need to look at it a smile in this new day and time for drag racing.<\/p>\n\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t
