Kool April Drags and Kool April Nights Car show were held together in Redding Calif. the same weekend. The drags ran after car show activity had started. The Sat. drags did not start until after 1 pm. The car show was held down town starting at 7 am, and the drags were at the Historic Strip near the airport.
The drags started Friday night and they had a record 200+ cars. Nor Cal Nostalgia Dragsters ran. Lots of front engine dragsters along with altered roadsters. Funny car and Jet dragster ran, Team Boddie, put on a great show with a 1/8 mile shootout, some very fast turbo and nitrous cars. The regular show of drag cars ran E for electronics and N for no Electronics. They ran Big tires and Smaller tires, some did wheel stands, all were very loud and fast. Some motorcycles and Jr Dragsters made a pass.
This was a great drag race, I hope they do it again. The racing was fast moving and everyone put on a great show. The Redding strip is Historic because it oped in 1953. This is a nice strip well kept up and they use a lot of sticky traction spray. The stands are good and close to the track.
