Southern Style....
 

Ok. If anyone else wants to promote their region....have at it.
But as a southern born Stock, Super Stock fan it's time for some recognition.
Got some old pics? Post 'em here.
Remember it's a nostalgia forum.
Thanks to Hemi Moose I have a GREAT picture of one of my favorite, early racers from the great state of Arkansas.

Re: Southern Style....
 

I guess anything goes in here right, well I got a question then...I've always heard of some Nascar racers that made their own home brew, but I don't think I've ever heard of any drag racers that where moonshiners, so were there...lol. ;)

How about one of The Dixie Stripper '64 Fairlane Thunder Bolt...

Malcom Durham was from the Washington D.C. area... The DC Lip....:D

Re: Southern Style....
 

Yeah that's kinda what I figured because all of the other old photos I've seen from the past said either MD or DC on the door or quarter panels...I don't know why I thought it said SC on the door, I guess my eyes are starting to go...but he was originally a farm boy from Goldsboro, N.C. before moving.

Dwight Southerland's 65 that later became Amy Faulk's.
I remember the first time I saw this car at Carlisle Ark.
Pure white and not a single decal that I recall.
As a kid I had a 64 Malibu Pure Stocker and this was my dream car.

Re: Southern Style....
 

Charlie, I've always liked the looks of the '64 & '65 Chevelle station wagons...I may have to get me one of those some day...but for now lets see some more of them from down south.

Re: Southern Style....
 

Can't forget about the Robert Nance '65 A990 Plymouth Belvedere from Georgia...

Re: Southern Style....
 

A990Hemi, so what's the story on this Plymouth...it looks like it's possibly a '64 or '65 converted to a A/FX car.

Re: Southern Style....
 

This may not be Stock or Super Stock drag racing...but it was definitely something Southern Style from back then.

Re: Southern Style....
 

BIG RED ran 2 classes in Nascar Ultra/Stock on the same day. I would watch them change the wheel base moving rear forward too run the outher class. This happened at a few meets when I ran a Tbolt in that circut.

Hemi Moose you have a PM

Re: Southern Style....
 

a990hemi, there were lots of southern racers from back then that ran these things...old super stockers that were cut up & modified.

Re: Southern Style....
 

Here's a couple of the old 'Color Me Gone' 1964 Hemi Dodge 330 that ended up going down South...notice the different names on the doors.

Re: Southern Style....
 

July '74????
I might have been at that one. I was stationed at LRAFB then.
Went across the Pacific that december.


I remember that "timing tower truck".
I think that was the one used at both Carlisle and Stuttgart on alternating weekends. (Lee Taylor?)
Thanks for the Grog pics.
Now if we can just get some of the green Grog Plymouth Valient..........

Re: Southern Style....
 

jackson ms points race photo looks like sonny cook chevy II ss/ka in left lane. had lot fun there through the years. too bad pearl high school sits on that property now. jim

Re: Southern Style....
 

I think I was wrong on that date for the Jackson MS points race. That was 1974 and it is Sonny Cook's Chevy II in the other lane.

Charlie, I worked with Lee Taylor on the crew that ran the races at Carlisle and Stuttgart during the 1969-70-71 years. There are some priceless, hilarious stories that go along with that experience!!

Cieri Brothers' black Chevelle Wagon behind the Grog in the staging lane picture of Indy.

Re: Southern Style....
 

I was 17 in 1969. How do I remember this stuff and can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday??????????? lol

Re: Southern Style....
 

I always thought the yellow 57 was a better RoHo than this one, but this is the only photo I could find:
