Event Coverage Party Like It's 1967 (SE GASSER Opener)...

April 30th was the season opener for the Southeast Gassers at Greer Dragway. Record crowd and the rain held off till the end. I spent the day there and shot a ton of pictures. Here are a few to get things started. I'll post the rest tomorrow. Feel free to add on to this thread if you shot something too...

 

Great pix!

 

Thanks!

 

As alwcays,your photo's are very much appreciated. HRP

 

Are the rules for this racing posted somewhere??

 

Wish we could of made it out but had too much packing to do. Great pics as usual Tom looking forward to more.

 

Never mind. Found some rules. Says no automatics. That leaves me out.

 

IIRC Quain has added a class that allows automatics

Ya did good dog, outstanding coverage.
Looks like Quain has set the standard for "real deal" drag racing, so glad for a successful opener for him, the participants and the fans, wish you guys could do a West Coast swing .

 

Awesome shots Tom! Good seeing you yesterday.

 

The Southeast Gassers RULE !

 

I may have been looking at a list of old rules. Couldn't get the one from their website to down load. Will try again later. Thanks, Gene. P.S. Tom, thanks for all pictures!

 

The BEST gasser racing , BAR NONE!!! Great pics. Thanks again for sharing.

 

Thanks for the pics.

 

Great shots Tom, you really have the knack on depicting the spirit of the event.

Hope to see you @ SIM.

 

Thanks Dave. I'm looking forward to seeing BGII burn up the strip at SIM.

 

Awesome pics. I especially enjoyed the shots of the Hundley & Boggs FED and their Chevy wagon push car. Nice to see J. Ed Horton pictured with the car. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for posting those Tom.

Wish I could have been there, but I'll settle for SIM

 

Is that the original Dixie Twister, Huston Platt car or a re-creation? Would love to see some more pics of that and also what type of engine it was running? Z11? or a MKIV big block? Thanks!

 

I think it was an original, one of only 4 or 5. It wasn't very competitive...

 

Great pics and great looking cars.

 

It was good hanging out with you Saturday.
I posted some pics in the thread that is linked in my signature.

Nice meeting you Enloe. You have quite the selection of old magazines. Next time I run into you I'll take a minute to look closer.
