Default Re: Records, Etc @ Gainesville

there was a silver mustang (could have been the varsity mustang?) i thinjk it was an a/sa. Sorry they are cool and all but i got all confused...cause they all look the same!!!!

And there was a cool late fifties/ early sixties full size chevy wagon 283 auto stocker. He had record holder stickers dating from the 80's all down the quarter panels. did the tear down and re-install by himself, got it back up a running just before dark. well done man.


the track was seriously slippery. the hemi cars left after a couple of runs spinning in the 50's. There was a crazy launching new stang stick car that seemed like he has 9:1 gears in the rear it wouldnt even react it spun so bad!

i saw a U/SA dodge spin...

the thunderbird ss stick car was awesome, i think he was hasing the tires for the first ten feet then was near verticle each pass.

there were many R's on windows but only a couple that i saw in tear down.


by the third round of qualifying walking the lanes out of the groove was stickier than in the groove. it was my first NHRA event, and i left there a bit disappointed to say the least.

apologies that i cant add the names, you just should been there! LOL

...and thank you to Mrs. Lewis for the excellent meals, the fijitas were the best i have ever had.

At least we had the PRI show to entertain us!
