Hemi showdown at PRP/Curt George Memorial

[James L Miller]

Sounds like a fun deal Steve. I wish I could be there. Take some photos and e-mail them to me. I wish there was more events like that around DFW. We just had our one NSS event here last weekend.

Should be a blast. We've had a good response, a lot of interest.

We desired to keep it for the regular Joe racer....NSS, brackets, legal, whatever. We used 422 NSS rules, and we've got everything from AWB 65 Clones, to a lot of NSS Hemis, E bodies, and a couple of NHRA/IHRA class guys.

They payout is not bad for a Saturday evening's work, but we wanted to keep it low key, non pressure. Didn't want a deal where a few guys came in and just threw money at each other....we want everyone to have some fun.

You're gonna have to educate those Texicans on what goes on up here, Jim....

Sounds like a nice event...be sure to post any photos & videos of it here on Class Racer...do you have any links to some of the previous shows.

Some photos I took at Beaver Springs two years ago. I'm thinking there might be some of the same cars at PRP.

Thanks James for the additional photos, do you have anymore pics from any past events...

I went to Carlisle in 2005 with Dick Oldfield. A friend in Tampa hooked me up with Dick and we met at York, and he drove up to Carlisle. We spent the day walking around. The funniest part was we were walking towards the Mopar trailer and David Hakim saw Dick and just about jumped off the trailer to run down to greet him. That was a fun deal with Dick telling me all sorts of things they tried on the Missile cars.

The other photos are from the York US 30 Reunion in 2005. One is Bill Stiles and the other is of Hemi Fred's pimp doll on his engine display. Bill is a real good guy too.
