(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>The Straight-Axle Mafia and US60 Dragway put on a couple big nostalgia events in Hardinsburg, KY every year.\u00a0 We didn\u2019t make it to the one in May so I made the trek alone for the September occurrence.<\/p>\n

This gallery is of the car show and pit area (mostly non-competition cars).\u00a0 A benefit of participating in this show is that you can take some laps down the track which many of them did though most did so gingerly.\u00a0 The show isn\u2019t large, but there\u2019s plenty to gawk at between rounds of racing.<\/p>\n

Proof that you can learn something new every day.\u00a0 The green \u201970 sports roof Mustang is a real Boss 302 survivor that was raced by its original owners.\u00a0 I had to ask about it not having a spoiler or hood scoop which is when I got to pick up some new knowledge.\u00a0 Turns out things I thought were standard on a Boss 302 were really add-on options and not part of the base package.\u00a0 If you wanted a racer then folks would often skip this stuff to keep the weight down as they\u2019d most-likely remove it when it came time to turn a wheel anyway.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This one is \u2018missing\u2019 the window louvers, rear spoiler, console, and shaker hood.\u00a0 It does have 4.30s and an oil cooler which are more desirable if you plan to run laps.\u00a0 The car isn\u2019t perfect, but is.\u00a0 Being unrestored and running like a sewing machine makes the cool-factor for this strong.\u00a0 The \u201970 is the best-looking Mustang ever built so it has that going for it as well.<\/p>\n

More US60 Nostalgia Nationals coming soon.<\/p>\n
