Old friends Sarah & Bob Vodnik drove down from Oak Forest IL for a visit.
That's Bob on the left, behind the nearly completed "Shadow 5" AA fueler in
Kent Fuller's shop in Belmont CA in 1965. For more: see Old Drag Photos.
Great to see you guys again!!!

This was a great start at this show. We have already discussed improvements for next year,
and will most likely be doing a 50/50, drawing the winner at the awards ceremony,
right before they draw the winner of the Corvette Giveaway!
