I was coming back from Hitlon Head Island SC on Saturday night. As luck would have it, we were spending the night in Charleston WV. It just so happens that Saturday night was the WV Drag Racer's Hall of Fame Cruis In in nearby Winfield WV. This year's cruise in included the 2020 and 2021 Hall of Fame induction ceremony too. Normally this is done at the Rod Run and Doo Wop in early October but because of COVID concerns and fewer people at the Cruis In, it was moved to the Cruis In.

For those of you who don't know, Winfield was the site of the first drag strip in WV, back in in 1959. There are no open or active drag strips in the state of West Virginia at all at this time. The last one closed about a decade ago.

 

SO this cruise in is special because there are show cars and there are GO cars (drag cars). When I got there I had missed the inductee ceremony but I was in time for the old timer cackle fest! Videos are below. Also here is a link to the 2019 Cruise In:   

 

Yes it is a Rambler!

RIngo - can you clean this up please. Not sure why it added the file multiple times. I can't seem to edit them out either.

Yeah, I can edit it tomorrow when I’m back on my computer. 

@Frosty, believe I got it edited to what was intended. Let me know if I can be of further assistance!

Taking a ride in that dragster would certainly be insane 

You did a good job Ringo. Thanks for the assist. Not sure why things went wonky on me. Once I posted the first video, it won't let me backspace, remove the placement of the video, it was weird.

Was this on a desktop or mobile? I'm not a fan of editing things on mobile as the cursor just jumps around too much with my fat fingers combined with the smaller screen is a no-go  (just on iOS as a whole I see this). My suggestion no matter the device is to put your cursor a line below the embedded element you want to delete and then use the backspace to delete it. May take a few hits of the backspace as the software may highlight it before fully deleting. Something I think our software vendor is working on and possibly looking at new editors.

Any rate, happy anytime to help   

It was from my personal laptop. The cursor disappeared and I could not select video to delete with my mouse or cursor. It was almost near a complete lock up. It was weird.

Lastly, when I revealed myself to some of friends at the show, my buddy Jim, who was also the DJ, announced to everyone I was there and they proceeded to present me with this award for all my support and contributions to the Hall of Fame. I was definitely not expecting this.

Thanks Kiwi!

My buddy Jim has teased me a few years ago that they should get me a jacket that says "Honorary Hillbilly"! I'd wear it!
