 Nostalgia Drag racer Hi all,
I'm an owner and enthusiast of old sohc CB Hondas.
Went to a Nostalgia Drags event feb 09 at willowbank saw a few old bikes racing, said to my little bro and the old man we should get into this. I went out bought a basket case 1976 CB 400F got her ready for the august 09 nostalgia nationals had the first outing problems (rider, ran like crap to lean)
but caught the bug. Dad and bro are racing now, dad on a CB 750/4 K2 its been in the family for nearly 30yrs. Bro racing an old Yamaha YB 100.
Cheers Aj

Re: Nostalgia Drag racer Hey Aj, welcome to the nut house. Great to see some more nostalgia bikes coming out, i've got a pic of your 400 somewhere that we took last year. We'll be racing our GPZ in Outlaw Bike this year for a bit of fun.
