(Photos by Doug Gregory) – Continuing with some ACTION…. More Chevy-heavy stuff, but it’s all cool.  More diversity in the straight-axle galleries….   I promise.   We did get to see the blue, screaming Thunderbird that we’d only previously seen at the NHRR.  Standing next to that doing a burnout reminded me I’d forgot my earplugs.  Those weed-burners do sing.  Randy Gore’s shorty ’57 only made a couple crazy wheelie passes so we managed to catch it during some of its more-tame moments.

Joey Fey had his newly-repainted digger out and was going rounds.  I always enjoy seeing a Vega or a Monza at the track and we got to watch a few examples of each make laps.  The red 2^nd-gen Camaro was a clean ride and chemically-assisted in scooting down the track.  The orange ’69 Camaro had a crank-driven blower a small child could walk through.  They had some fueling issues, but I expect when that’s all sorted it will suck its way to the traps rather quickly.  Finally, we don’t see a lot of Oldsmobiles at the track so it was nice to see one out hiking a tire and making noise.

Enjoy the photos.

*Note…..  though the exposures look to be all over the place in the photos I swear it wasn’t for our lack of trying to adjust for the clouds and their varying level of shade.  Despite having three cameras capturing the action at once there were times we all couldn’t make a correction fast enough to both freeze the action AND fix the light-metering.  Guess that’s why we’re just out here having fun and not making big dollars like ‘official’ or professional photogs.
