(Google Map)<\/a>.\u00a0 This is a very large campground with lots of sites very close to one another.\u00a0 I did some searching on their map and found a site that had quite a bit of \u201celbow room\u201d.\u00a0 The campground is beautiful, albeit a bit expensive.\u00a0 That said everything in California is hugely expensive.\u00a0 I just filled the truck gas tank with $5.59 fuel!!\u00a0 Many places are charging over $6.00 per gallon!<\/p>\nWe are staying here so that I could attend a very special nostalgia drag racing event. The event is called the Nitro Revival and it is an amazing event that features dragsters out of the 50s and 60s. The event is held at the Irwindale drag strip. I would guess that there were at least 75 original and restored dragsters. I fondly remember many of these dragsters from my early days of being a drag racing fan. At the conclusion of the event they have what is called a \u201cCackle Fest\u201d. Several dragsters line up on the drag strip at sunset and have their engines running on nitromethane. The sound and header flames are said to be spectacular. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend this part of the activity as my back problems became rather severe and I had to return to the camper.<\/p>\n

Just a few of the dragsters<\/p>\n
One of the highlights of the event was that I got to visit with Darrell Gwynn who was a drag racer that we worked with on the blower belt project. Pat and I got to know Darrell and his parents very well and it was good to see him again. He was paralyzed in a racing accident and has been confined to a wheelchair for many years. In spite of his handicap, he is still active in the racing community and has a good attitude<\/p>\n
