    Geeze, I have not been to that fair since they moved out of Corunna. But then, we haven't been to any fairs for a long time.

    Personally I don't. But I know people who do. That is if you're talking about the fish bait Robinson's.

    Got see the rediculasly awesome Roadkill cars! Next year I am registering whatever I have to race! :rofl: :lol: My 60 second 8th mile drag truck should do..:rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol: ( insert sarcasm here) it was awesome!!!!

    HDRock it did rain on and off a lot. We ended up leaving a little early because the time kept getting pushed back but it was totally worth going!

    I think this might be the only event like this in the Midwest. Anybody can register to drag whatever they want any make Chrysler, GM, ford imports etc... There where some stock trucks, cars, some super sweet freak show vehicles, alcohol dragsters, muscle cars and so much more! Over 200 vipers showed up! Fricken awesome!

    Some guy showed up in a Chivette that was so built he had to sit in the back seat to drive it. Then proceeded to crash and shut down the strip for two hours:whistle: his car was STUPID FAST! Like high 4 second 1/8 mile fast and I don't think he knew where to stop but he was fine and walked away.

    The coolest part was using school busses to shuttle people to the event which was literally on Woodward Ave in Pontiac! It was great! It's a true community event! The line of cars acrost the street in the seating pic was maybe 1/4 of what raced it was just car after car after car!
