The Wonderful RPM Nationals
The last few from this year’s RPM Nationals. If you dig early cars powered by flatheads and 4 bangers going head to head in drag racing you need to put it on the calendar. It all goes down at Santa Margarita Ranch on their runway. And it’s not just drag racing. There’s a swap meet and car show. It’s just such a blast. I can’t wait for next year’s show.
Even More From RPM Nationals
Here are a few more from this year’s RPM Nationals. One of my favorite events every year. Held at Santa Margarita Ranch on their runway. Such a great time watching vintage rides drag race down the ranch’s runway.
