Projects Gene (Moonlighter) Cromer's A/G Willys Resurrection

We may have to cancel the G***er race at Greer this Saturday the weather is looking bad, cold windy and 50% chance of rain. This is going to be a very hard decision to make because of the people traveling. 7 people are on their way right now from Wi area. I just called the man on his way with his g***er from Texas, he's going to spend the night in La until the final word in the morning. 1 man is already here from Nebraska. The 33 willys is already here from Fa. There are many more but y'all get the picture. The final word will come from the track owner by 10 in the morning. If this happens it will be reschedule next Saturday the 8th.

 

GREER G***ER RACE POSTPONED
Sorry to report this but the Greer race has been Postponed until next Saturday November 8th, There is no way we could get this in if the weather report is even close to right. Please help me spread the word so not to inconvenience the fans and racers anymore than they already have been. Don't give up on us it can still be a record setter next Saturday so make plan's to be there.

 

Bummer! but I understand. HRP

 

Don't forget this Saturday November 8th at Greer SC dragway will be the last chance to see the Moonlighter race this year.

 

The South East G***ers finals has been rescheduled.

I know what you are alluding to, but don't be to sure about the US waking up. I just saw an article stating that the voter turnout here in SC was the lowest in 40 years.

 

Sorry your disappointed with the thread, when there is new pic they get posted the car was finished over a year ago. Now to help keep the thread going I try to let people know where the moonlighter is going to be racing and who it will be racing against. Don't give up on us I'll try to post pic and video of the Greer race

 

Here ya go Quain, keeping this thread at the top, a pic of Gene at the Meltdown Drags in Byron Ill. this summer, still attracting the ladies

 

I'm going to have to have a talk with Cromer he's hugged up with Cynthia she's my trim.

 

!!!

As I have heard Ruth say more than once.."I'm watching you"... HRP

 

Granted their is a lack of photo's due to the update of the Hamb they were lost but that doesn't diminish the amazing story of the History that has been written or the history that has yet to be written.

The Moonlighter,the Cromer family ,Quain Stott and the many,many friends that helped participate in bring back both the car but more than that a walking,talking g***er hero from the past that is once again a fierce compe***or anytime he shows up and a crowd favorite. HRP

 

Trim haven't heard that in a long time.

 

Here's a recent shot, taken at the Atlanta $10,000 event last month...

Thanks for the comments on my photos, guys. I just got back from the SEG finals at Greer today. What a great show! Here're a few shots, I had to leave early so not as many as I usually get. I'll post a link to the entire gallery at the end.











There were three front engined rails there and they just added to the show. This next shot is probably my favorite. Check the kid giving the guy a thumbs up!



The Wild Child was there too...



And here's the man hisself, Gene Cromer, the Moonlighter!
