The weekend of   November 1,08 was my first chance to get in to the midst of the excitement  at  " Tri - River Dragway "    located  in Fort Gay West Virginia.        The Track owners  " Randle & Kay Sartin "   made me and my youngest son Ricky feel right at home .  The atmosphere at Tri - River  Dragway  was relaxed and friendly as well as being run in a very perfessional manor.         The " Hundred Yard Dash "   as some call it do to the fact as I was informed - from the starting line to the finsh line it is 300 feet  at Tri-River Dragway ,  which  was plenty long enough to get the blood pumping !      As you will see on this page of my web site, there were some fantastic Hot Rods there  of all types. UPDATE >>>:   For track information you can now go directly to  www.tririverdragway.com  Tri- River Dragways new web site !

To start things off while at Tri-River Dragway it wasn't long untill I had ran in to an old friend " Arnold Bailey " .   While watching a few of the hot rods make their way to the starting line, I had no idea who was behind the wheel of this good looking Hot Rod.   A few minutes after the Rail had made a run Arnold came walking up.  The last time that I had seen Arnold he had a lightning quick  Black Camaro and a good looking Chevy Malibue that was quite quick as well.

" 2009 "   was the year that I had the opportunity to first tavel to  " Tri-River Dragway "   located in Fort Gay West Virginia.       A special thanks goes out to  " Randall and his wife Kay Sartin "   ( owners of Tri- River Dragway )  for allowing me to take photos at their Race Track.      Do to some health problems that hit me early in the season I was unable to make a return trip.  Dureing the two trips that I was able to make there,  I met a great bunch of people and got to exsperience the excitement at one of West Virginia's most exciting Race Tracks.

Any way you spell it,  this was one  CLASSEY RIDE   !    This was one of those Hot Rods that I call  " A Show & Go Ride " .   While walking around through the pit are I came up on this Ride and it's owner make a few last minute adjustments and doing a little shinging on it.           Later on in the day I had the opportunity of watching this Hot Rod go down the track.  AND, it ran just as good as it looked !

There was plenty of excitement at the starting line with some radical burn outs .

I guess there's still a part of me that's a big kid.  I love the wheel stands that some of these Hopt Rods do !

There was no shortage of Rails at Tri-River Dragway for the Spectators to view.
