May 20, 2010 Skipping forward forty some years from 1966, I want to remind everyone the Detroit Dragway Reunion is being held May 23 at Milan Dragway.

I would love to be there, but 700 miles of distance and some family commitments make that an impossibility. Reader John Gacioch sent me the poster above to remind me about the event.

It would be great to see old friends from Detroit and Milan dragways, as I served as track photographer at both tracks. If you make out, be sure to tell everyone Tom Bonner says hello!

If anyone has any photos or comments from the event send them along and I’ll try to find space for them on Vintage-Nitro.

Milan Dragway is on Plank Road off of US23 in Milan, Michigan.
