A look at last years parade. Blumo makes the thumbnail

Oswego is known to some Chicago area residents for the town dragstrip, open from 1955 until 1979, where muscle cars were raced by drivers from all over the Midwest. The drag days are celebrated today even though the strip has been closed for decades.

There are some home movie type vids of dragging at Oswego, Super8 no audio shaky grainy lol, great cars in all the vids. This one shows some racing and a slice of Oswego life around the strip and stuff from 1974-'75 ...

- Didn't notice a Blumo, did notice Dave Weaver's fire red 1974 Monaco. A fun and loud parade, seemed like more fire/ambulance vehicles this year ...
