They also have a "Cackle Fest" at this show. At noon they fire each of the participants up one at a time. There's a mix of Alcohol and Nitro dragsters and funny cars. They usually finished it off with Terry McMillen's Top Fuel dragster. There are always a few people who have never been around a TF dragster and are standing way to close when it fires up. It's always fun to watch them jump as there're wiping Nitro fumes out of their eyes.

Here are a few pictures I took at the AACA shows in Auburn IN over the last couple of years. This 61 Impala SS convertible is a 340 horse 348 with a 4 speed. The owner said it was an original SS. It was owned by B. Thompson.

This is R. Reichenbach's 61 Corvette fuelie. I'm not sure if it is a factory heavy-duty brake car or not.
