Re: LS6 Chevelle a supercar?
Hey Bill. You got a neighbor here. I haven't seen that SS Chevelle running around. Nice car! Where have you been hiding it. -Darren

Re: LS6 Chevelle a supercar?
Bill,
That's the one. We used to run on dirt and made more money than we could spend. Finally built an asphalt track and lost money from day one. Had loads of fun though so it was all worth it. What were you running at the time?

Re: LS6 Chevelle a supercar?
Dennis,
As I recall, when I was there, the track was paved but the shutdown area (or at least a portion of it) was not. Does that sound right? At the time, I was going to college in the area. I was not running anything, just came there with a friend from Virden IL who had a white 65 Nova SS with a built small block, 4 speed, and 5.38 gear. That car was a lot of fun on the street!

Re: LS6 Chevelle a supercar?
Mostly correct. It was an 1/8 mile strip and the shutdown was another full 1/8 mile but ran downhill about 200 feet past the finish line. Beyond the end of the asphalt was another 3-400 feet of gravel, then a long left hand curve back to the return road. We had a real nice pond down in that area too. A couple of guys thought their cars were part submarine, but that's a whole other story!

Re: LS6 Chevelle a supercar?
Hey, you think White Hall was fun; there was a strip in the neighboring county that had the all time best shutdown area. 1/8 mile past the finish line you made a hard 90 to the left. If you missed the turn you ran headlong into a 150 foot vertical wall. No sand pit here, buddy. True story!
