Lions Drag Strip Museum event

[spike morelli]

Friend Dave Mandella told me last week of an event going on Sunday, Oct 30th, in Long Beach, California. Apparently, there is a museum dedicated to Lions Drag strip, in Long Beach....they're having a ceremony, or open house, or opening of a new wing...I didn't quite get it straight, but Dave said it would be great if I took my vintage Blown gas hydro. I know Bob Garner will bring either his blown gas flat, or his blown gas hydro. I know, I know, Lions was a CAR dragstrip, but if you were there, you'd know that a good percentage of the car and boat people were cut from the same cloth. Many of the faces at Lions on Saturday night would be at Long beach Marine Stadium for Sunday's racing. Mickey Thompson, who ran Lions, was also an avid fan of drag boats. It should be different. I will post a number to call for more info tomorrow.
