2017 Fall Nostalgia Race at CID

I have photographed a lot of nostalgia races at Central Illinois Dragway over the years and every one of them was unique in their own way but the 2017 fall nostalgia race for me had just a little more of a nostalgic flair to it.

Sure, they had the usual gassers, nostalgia outlaw quick series, Ozark Mountain Super Shifters, nostalgia super stockers, a couple Promods and several blown alcohol vehicles but what really gave it that nostalgic feel were the 3 young ladies with the nostalgia super stock group dressed in their nostalgic looking outfits assisting with the backing and staging of the cars. Then there was a local racer posing as the staging lane security (see photo) but what really added a nostalgic twist to the event was local photographer, Dennis Cumby's flag drop starts for the super stock cars and gassers dressed in all white with the red and green flags in hand.

It sure brought back memories of days gone by.
