Bruce Larson is a name synonymous with drag racing all across America. Known as “Mr. USA-1” for his long-standing association with Chevy and the Camaro, Bruce started racing in the ‘50s at local tracks. In 1965, Bruce was introduced to the first all-fiberglass Funny Car, the USA-1 Chevrolet, and as they say “the rest was history”. Larson went on to win 16 career national event titles. One of the many highlights in Bruce’s long and fruitful career was winning the Winston Funny Car World Championship in 1989. We are pleased to welcome back Bruce Larson and the USA-1 Camaro who will meet with fans, sign autographs and help with Drag Racing 101.

Our seminars on drag racing for those interested in taking a trip down the 1320 were packed in 2008 and we expect the same this year! The newly renovated Quarter Aces Drag-O-Way (formerly South Mountain Dragway) is 660 feet, or a one-eighth mile track. This program was for first-timers as well as those with the burning passion to acquire a greater knowledge of drag racing techniques. Conducting the seminars will be a collection of drag racing’s most notable stars, including Bruce Larson. They will teach the tricks of the trade that they have perfected over years of storied competition. It will start with a seminar on the fairgrounds. A “chalkboard” explanation of some the terms, tricks and techniques required to have a good drag racing experience will be given. From there, we will take a “Trip to the Track” where we will continue the lesson with passes on the track.

Try your rodeo skills on the Mechanical Bull and many of the other activities we have planned for your enjoyment in 2009. The Mechanical Bull will be located next to the Guest Services booth. Guest Services is our central information center and the right location to check on activities and contests and to sign up for all of our contests including the beauty contest and the burnout contest.

Carlisle Events will no longer provide shipping of awards at no cost. After the show you may pick up your award during regular business hours at the fairgrounds or pay $10 per award for shipping. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and hope you will join Carlisle Events on Sunday in celebrating the vehicles that are honored as winners.

Changes are new this year to the judging process at the All-GM Nationals. Experienced and qualified judges who are “car people” will judge classes, other than the Camaros which have their own established classes and judging process. The new judging format will include special awards as well. The award categories are still being developed. However, we do know that the award will include membership in an exclusive club formed especially for these very special vehicles, aptly named, “Winner’s Circle”. The award will be a jacket bearing the exclusive logo you see in the accompanying picture. Only winners of these special awards will become members of the “Winner’s Circle” and be eligible to receive these jackets. (However, in the interest of preserving family relations, they will be permitted to purchase additional jackets for family members.) We congratulate those folks that will become the first members of this new and very exclusive club.
