Default Re: Detroit drag strip winners jacket

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: P.J.</div><div class="ubbcode-body">While surfing on the internet one night I came across a red Winners Jacket from the Detroit
drag strip. It was for sale at 50.00 .This jacket was awarded to the people who set a record at the strip.
I called the number and spoke to a guy by the name of Mark. Called too late as he had already sold the jacket.
He told me that he had set many records at the track and had sold a few of them and that one was on the wall new in a frame and was not going anywhere.
As my car also set a record at the track it would of been nice to have one .

Are these jackets around for sale???

I've not seen one from Detroit Dragway, but I do have one from Ubly Dragway (not for sale).









This is a little noteworthy since dad usually traded any &quot;bling&quot; he won (trophies or jackets) for free admission the next weekend.

I'm curious: the red jacket you saw, was it the same cut/style as this one?
