Half Moon Bay Reunion on the Car Guy Channel

Thursday, October 1st, 2009


Earlier this year The Champion Speed Shop returned to the Pebble Beach of Drag Racing for a 50th Reunion of the Half Moon Bay Dragstrip as part of the Pacific Coast Dream Machines show. A historical incarnation of the nitromethane powered and supercharged small block Chevy dragster was on deck, and the latest version of the long line of Chevy powered dragsters was fired up for the cheering crowd on the very same ground where Jim McLennan founded the Half Moon Bay dragstrip some 50 years before. The Car Guy Channel caught all the action in this video roundup of the good times at the reunion of old pals. Take a look to get some history on the Champion Speed Shop 1934 Ford pickup, the Smiling Irishman himself, and what is known as the wind.
