The visit to the Fantasy Speedway was a 2nd highlight. This is an official non-profit museum set up to preserved the dirt track racing done during the '40s through the '60s. This place takes you back in time. Check out
www.fantasyspeedway.me There are good things happening here and they can use all the help they can get. Money or time. Since a lot of cars were out of commission when we were there a fun day was set up for us. They had 4 running cars. The best part about this is we got to take turns driving the track. These cars are a hoot.
The cars.
250" Chevy powered coupe
226" Ford flat 6 powered coupe. Engine by Walt.
Falthead V8 Coupe demo car. This one does not see steady race duty. Engine by Walt.
GMC powered Coupe.
Not really sure what powered this Chevy. It did go well.

Would you believe John M in a Chevy? Here's proof.
Bottom line is everyone associated with the Fantasy Speedway went far out of their way to make us welcome. It was real good fun. Thanks to them for the fun afternoon. We left there tired dirty and very happy. Off to Belfast.
