[Dicky]

[leach]

Couple of them must of really had the slick air pressure really down the way the pictures show <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif

[PxTx]

That really looks like a fun event. I would love to see a day of muscle cars any perios clothes celebrating 1969!

Great job with the pics. Thank you!

[Salvatore]

Doesn't Gene Fulton run that circuit also?

[firstgenaddict]

Gene Fulton's Willis was built outside the rules even though Quain is available to answer questions and provide guidance. Fabricated Fulton intake electronics etc Quain wouldn't let it run. Wouldn't be fair to the guys who built to the rules.

Greer is a great track, it hooks exceptionally well and the entire racing surface is concrete.

I took 1500 plus frames although at 7 frames a second it isn't hard when you are trying to get launch shots with a PRO TREE..
For example this is a sequence of 9 Launch shots there are about 3 before with no movement from the tire which are not included and one further down the track where he actually pulls the wheels in 2nd or 3rd. So 14-15 shots in 2 seconds. The frames add up quickly.

It's actually a river valley and totally flat, the river runs down the left side of the track about 20-30 feet away.

The track was 1/4 mile until the early 80's. there isn't any where close to enough shut down room to be 1/4 mile. I've been coming to the track since the mid 80's and have seen everything from Funny Cars running high 3's on down... The track had a major rehab in the early 2000's with the entire surface being put in concrete with reinforced concrete walls the entire length too.

They will be in BYRON IL on July 15-17 MELTDOWN DRAGS
