What this is all about

We are a group of guys that love vintage drag racing.

A group of guys that are old friends, others are new friends…they all share a love for old Hot Rods, Vintage Drag Cars, and Vintage Drag Racing.

This group consists of guys who locate, buy, build, fab, drive, and race their own cars.
The way it was back then…..

The goal here is to understand, relive, and enjoy a day at a real vintage drag meet…the way it was.

We do not profit from this event, and the track graciously welcomed this event.  Please come and support one of

only a few Drag Strips left in the Midwest these days.


We DO NOT care how fast your car is, that is not what this is about …it is about recreating and teaching a new generation of Hot Rodders where there roots came from….we DO CARE that you have fun. If you choose to make a full pass, half pass, or JUST bring it down to show you will meet some new friends, that like what you like!!

No attitude’s, no ego’s….just Vintage Drag Racing!

There are absolutely NO trophy’s or cash on July 20th &21st, 2013.
If you’re asking questions like… How much is the prize payout? is there a payout? is there a trophy? Can you pay me to run that day….?
Well, we are sorry but… THIS IS NOT THE EVENT FOR YOU! The Meltdown is about re-living, re-creating and most of all having fun for one day with cars and similar people that remember the days before $$$ ruined class racing…when the small guy or small shop…could come out, be competitive, and have a great day at the track.
That is what ‘Meltdown Style’ drag racing is all about…. FUN, reliving the past, bragging rights, but not prize money.
The racing is NOT taken seriously, it is fun only, and there is NO eliminations, NO class winners.  YOU race others within your class for great pics, and MOST OF ALL FUN!!!!
