lead.jpgAs the new race season approaches, let’s take a look back at some great Nostalgia material. Butch & Terri Blair supplied us with some great Magazines and materials to go through from the Late-70’s / Early-80’s. A huge thanks to the Blair’s for letting me go through these great magazines filled with sand drag racing history. Let’s take a look at some of the cool things that I came across.
