It has been thirty four years since the roar of 600+ horsepower engines no longer roared at the site of the Woodstock of Drag Racing, York US 30 Dragway at the Thomasville Airport every Saturday evening from April to October but the pilgrimage continues the second full weekend of July when the Annual Musclecar Madness at the York Reunion is presented at the York Fairgrounds, York Expo Center, York, Pennsylvania.

The York show can boast in having the most Legends of Drag Racing and their legendary race cars of any event in the country.
