~ Gasser Magazine Reunion  ~

~ Thompson Drag Raceway, OH ~

~ 6-8 June, 2003 ~


In case you're wondering why it's taking soooo long to get photos up here from Thompson, there's two reasons.  The first is that I do have a lifw outside Gasser Madness...which I'm not sure my wife believes, and the second is that I have received over TWO THOUSAND photos of the meet and it takes quite a bit of time to go through them all.  If you'll bear with me a little while, I'll keep posting them as I can find the time.  Thanks.  28 June 03

Okay...finally starting to get the photos up (17 June 03).  Here's the first group of photos.  There's MANY more to follow, so keep coming back and checking.

More added on 18 and 20 June 03.

Just like the old days in qualifying.  You never knew what would be alongside.  Here, Nick Jackson squares off against one of the nostalgia wire-wheel cars.
