Byron's Gasser Madness!
~ ADRA - Fallon, NV ~
These photos are from ADRA's Inaugural meet at Fallon, NV last year
(2001). They tried hard, and didn't do badly for a brand new
organization. The comment I heard most in the pits ran something
like "If it doesn't burn Nitro, they don't seem to know what to do
with it", but I suspect that, given enough time, that would have been
overcome. Unfortunately, time ran out on the ADRA. The last
time I checked (April 2002), their website (www.adra.com)
was for sale. Too bad.
Most of you have, by now, heard the long,
sad tale of woe regarding the ill-fated American Drag Racing
Association. Although supposedly funded for at least 2 years,
whether or not they drew any spectators, they actually lasted about 3
meets. It really was too bad. It was a great idea that was,
seemingly, mismanaged into the ground. A lot of people (both staff
and racers) didn't get paid and, despite follow-on efforts by a new
management team, evidently too many people had gotten burned to save the
deal.
The photos below aren't in any particular order. Remember,
