Re: Southeast Gassers
 

Just wondering watching the video were the timing lights not on or just not working right?

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

I don't believe they use scoreboards..Just like in 1967
I think each driver gets a full time ticket though.

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

I noticed the no scoreboard deal, does anyone know how fast the cars actually are?

The A cars are running sub 5.80s in the 1/8th.

Southeast Gassers OFFICIAL Race Recap Shadyside, Shelby NC Event 11-4-17

https://youtu.be/jtCOQ6VYJsw

The Southeast Gassers take over the Shadyside Dragway in Shelby NC for their final event of the 2017 racing season. The crowds of spectators were not disappointed with the 60's style drag racing of days gone by. Come with us on a ride into 1967 when drag racing was cool and the drivers were trying to tame their machines on every run.

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

Thanks for the Support Mopar, it's amazing how many supporters we have.
I have about 1,000 emails from 5 or 6 years ago from the people that said this would never work and laughed at me daily. They are not laughing now.
Again thanks for supporting us and sticking up for us when need be.

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

Quain I can't understand why anyone would not enjoy seeing the gassers.
I search the net looking for videos. Really enjoy it

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

Thanks Jim we do try hard, i'm not really sure why it's working so well but the fans and tracks are loving our style of racing. I guess the thought of going back in time interest a lot of people now days. Oh yea we have a Southeast Gasser you tube page subscribe to it if you want to keep up with the latest video's. Here's the link. Check out the latest back up girl video when you get there.

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

Quain thanks for that link,enjoyed it.
PS-I liked your Leboy pro mod vette!

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

The pro mod was cool, I spent 19 years on the road with that deal. I still have the one I won the championship with in my basement. I guess my family will sale it when I die. Lots of really good memories from those years.

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

Hello Quain! It's my pleasure. I learned about S.E.G. from watching "Big Daddy" Dale Wilson's YouTube videos.

I grew up in the 1970s and Modified Eliminator was my favorite category. Then came bracket racing on the local level. :(

Fast forward to the 21st century: High rpm (no electronics) 4-speed cars with cool old school paint and lettering banging gears are back!

I wish I lived a lot closer. I'd love to see the show in person. YouTube videos can only capture so much of the thrill and excitement.

The best of luck in the 2018 season!

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

Not just that. It's the classic cars! And 4-speeds! The simplicity of the race cars too (one you can build at home like was the norm during drag racing's "golden era"). Cool paint, lettering and names which give the cars a personality--unlike today--and unpredictable, high rpm gear-banging runs that keep you on the edge of your seat unlike the mostly automatic transmission-equipped, cookie-cutter race cars of today with their electronics and predictable runs which appear to fans in the stands like slot cars going down the track.

At least that's how I see it.

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

You say you wish you lived closer, where are you from.
Love the pic of the vette you posted WOW it looks right.

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

Thanks ladies! Some of those outfits are just "So Groovy".

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

When will rules be posted for super stock?

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

We are trying hard to get them out to the public. First exhibition race is planned for Clay City Ky May 5th if we get all of our ducks in a row. We are struggling now trying to keep all of the different combinations on a level playing field. Also trying to decide a 7" or 8" spec tire.
We won't put them out until we are sure we have covered all bases.

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

Quain,
When you do, please post them here.
Thanks for what you do, you have a great product.

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

I sure will, I'm just finishing up the 2018 revisions for the gassers so we should get back on the Super Stock rules before long. Not enough hours in the day. Stay in touch.

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

I'm up here in central New Jersey my friend.

Here's another Corvette gasser for you from back in the day at Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ.

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

Perfect example of what a race car should look like.
N J is not to far to come and hang out with us at one of our races.I'm getting a lot of request from fans in that area so you never know we might come your way in the future.

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

I tried to post the SEGA Super Stock Schedule but I can't figure out how to post pics on here.

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

Quain , You drop down to Additional Options, then Manage attachments..Fairly straightforward from there. Might have to downsize or change format on some stuff.

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

It was telling me I had to change the size and I sure don't know how to do that.
Are you on face book if so I'll message it to you and you can post it. or send me an email quainstott@live.com and I'll have your email address and email it to you.

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

Email it to me and I'll post it some way. myac455@gmail.com

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

SEGA Super Stock rules are now posted on their website.

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

Sorry but that Corvette would not be allowed to race with the Southeast Gassers because it does not have a straight axle frontend. Guess it was not a real gasser after all.

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

Sure wasn't, D/A (on the window) stands for D altered. It wasn't running Gas.
But i get your stab, SEGA don't allow control arm front ends. Guess we need to change the rules because the ones now suck so bad we don't have any cars or spectators.

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

Quain,
Check your PM.

Not Southeast Gassers but in the same vein.

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

You have done a great job with your program Mr. Stott. Just imagine if you allowed "real race cars" with any front end.
I'm sure you understand that the Corvette pictured could have run either Altered OR Gas, depending on which Eliminator the team chose to run.
As pictured, the Corvette shown could have run D/A in Competition Eliminator or E/G in Modified Eliminator with no changes. I expect you were unaware of the difference.
Unlike SEGA, NHRA never made straight axles a requirement for participation.
I was working with someone who wanted to build a Thunderbolt for your Super Stock class but cannot comply with your continuously arbitrary suspension rules.
Like you inferred.....You Don't Need Them Anyway!

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

Tom your right it's doing pretty good like it is. as a matter of fact we just shattered another spectator attendance record April 14th at our season opener. I just pic one of your comments to address because I'm running a little behind today. The reason we require a straight axle is because a man would be a fool to have a straight axle if it was nor required. The SEGA races first to the finish line wins so the real racers that are involved would be looking for every advantage possible so a straight axle would not be the first choice in the performance area. Same as the manual trans rule, what dummy would be racing a manual of the automatic was an option.
Yea I do know the difference in the classes I built and ran gas, modified and Super stock in the 1970's through the 80's.
When racing becomes first to the finish line wins a lot has to change in the rule book. Other gasser type deals don't even have one full page of rules and we have 27 pages.
Hope this helps you to understand the SEGA a little better and i'm always here to answer questions so please ask anytime.

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

Quain,
Can you share the names of racers committed to compete in the new SEGA Super Stock class?

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

In 67 he would have run Altered or Modified Sport.
In 68, when everything was in an uproar, he could
have run Gas, I guess, with 10% setback.

The gun control act of 1968 changed everything, too.

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

Frank here's the one's enter for the Clay City Ky race coming up May 5th. It's just going to be exhibition for this race to see how the fans react to it.

Re: Southeast Gassers
 

Quain, who is the person running the Nostalgia Super Stocks ?
Thanks

Never mind I found it on your website. No Automatics throws me out.
