1997

Indianapolis, Indiana

June 13,14, & 15th was the 9th Dupont/NHRA/Goodguys Hot Rod Nationals at the Indianapolis Raceway Park. We, here at Hot Rods Online and the Old Farts Car Club, were there for all the action. Action is just part of the scene at Indy. Evertwhere you looked was excellent, top quality hot rods and customs. Row after row of beautiful cars and trucks from all over the midwest. Old time drag racing action and row after row of vendors add to the mix. Next to the track was the concours section featuring cars vying for the top prizes and these were the cream of the crop and were flawed only by the drool over an occasional fender.

Go through the links below for a pictorial view of the cars there. We will not have much commentary is this series because we don't have the time as we are going on the road again to the next Goodguys shows at Des Moines, Iowa and Medina, Ohio.
