O.K., I talked to Mandella today, he says that the event is a morning to afternoon thing. For more info you can call Dave Mandella @ 562-704-4839. I'm told the place has a "diner', so there is food on site. For me, it's just an hour trip over the hill....the hitch is that I've got to be in place, in Long Beach, by 7:00 in the morning. Coffee please...

Well, I could go on and on about how much fun Lions Drag Strip was...great high school memories. I must tell you that amongst those old 8mm home movies posted of Long Beach Marine Stadium, Bill Dirksing's Blown Gas Hydro, ( the same one I am bringing to the Sunday event), was in the second movie of the three, must have been 1967. I've have footage of Too Much at Ski-Land, but hadn't seen any of the hydro at Long Beach until that posting. It was cool to see. Originally Posted by 2manymustangs
