   There was always a lot going on at the NHRA booth.

   We were hoping to see Tony Thacker there.... he’s the director of the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum where they are so hard at work keeping our history alive.  In addition to housing so many historic cars,  the   Museum has a very active schedule of exhibits, events and just tons of things going on virtually every week.   All of this in addition to the two  Hot Rod Reunions they put on each year.
