VINTAGE IRON Two jalopy racers prepare to launch their cars from the starting line of Beaver Springs Dragway during the 13th annual York Nostalgia Nationals. The vintage 1920 to 1930era vehicles were a hugely popular addition to this year’s gathering and entertained fans by dashing to the eighth-mile mark in the 12-second range at speeds in the neighborhood of 55mp h. Despite being the slowest eliminator class on the property and competing solely for trophies and bragging rights, these cars were a huge hit with fans and racers alike.
