(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) – \u00a0<\/strong><\/em>This is the last report from the Southeast Gasser\u2019s visit to Mountain Park Dragway.\u00a0 Couple of things I didn\u2019t get many photos of includes Quain Stott and later learned that Brad Anderson (yeah, that Brad Anderson) was checking the scene out.\u00a0 I missed Brad, but we were really running around with our heads cut off trying to shoot action on the track and stills in the pits.<\/p>\n

Quain is a person you can\u2019t really nail down and if you did\u2026.he\u2019d break free.\u00a0 All over the place putting out fires, talking to the teams, checking out the performance on the track and more.\u00a0 He even did a tranny swap on his Willys between rounds.\u00a0 They have a slogan used in many of their promotional things and it is \u2018nosissies\u2019.\u00a0 That typically is accompanied by\u00a0 – front wheels up one foot \u2013 straight or dropped axle \u2013 straight-shift transmission \u2013 clutchless shifts are for sissies.\u00a0 Rules in a nutshell.\u00a0 We had a great time and enjoyed talking with the competitors.\u00a0 Looking forward to our next chance to see them.\u00a0 If you haven\u2019t checked them out\u2026.you should.\u00a0 Their last event for 2016 is at Greer Dragway on November the 5th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

We have 9 more of the cars to show off along with a brief bio for each.<\/p>\n

A\/Gas\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Avenger \u201937 Chevy coupe sporting weather-checked 1970s lacquer paint, a 427ci BBC, Jerico, and 9\u201d.\u00a0 The rig is driven and owned by Sonny Burr and he likes to air this thing out.<\/p>\n

A\/Gas Ol\u2019 Dirty Bastard \u201956 510 of Justin Moses from Braselton, GA has a screaming, injected big-block, a Jerico gearbox, and a Ford 9\u201d differential.\u00a0 I heard its rev-limiter more than I expected so I imagine there must have been something not going quite right that weekend.<\/p>\n

C\/Gas\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hoopty Wagon \u201964 Falcon ran by Billy Huff uses a 383ci Clevor for power and sends that twist to a Jerico and ultimately a 9\u201d Ford.\u00a0 Don\u2019t know what a Clevor is\u2026?\u00a0 Windsor block with Cleveland heads.\u00a0 Was not uncommon a few decades ago.\u00a0 Now I never hear anything about them.<\/p>\n

A\/Gas\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Snake Bite \u201966 Mustang wheeled by Jim Finley has the look, a 427ci, a Hightower transmission, and a Ford 9\u201d.\u00a0 It also got the win in A\/Gas in the postponed finals (ran during 2nd<\/sup>-rnd qualifying) from the previous event .<\/p>\n

A\/Gas\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tazmanian Devil \u201941 Willys of Gary Cline is another one we didn\u2019t find out much about.\u00a0 Next time we visit the Southeast Gassers we\u2019ll dig up more.<\/p>\n

C\/Gas\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 One Gone Dog \u201956 Chevy ran by Sonny Clayton and Ernie Smith.\u00a0 It features a 406ci SBC, Jerico, and one of those massive, old Pontiac differentials.\u00a0 It\u2019s a colorful ride and runs like\u2026..a gone dog.<\/p>\n

A\/Gas\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Black&Blue is the Plymouth Barracuda of Robert Frazier and though we don\u2019t have a lot of details it IS Mopar-powered and puts on a heck of a show while fighting for respect among the Fords and Chevys.<\/p>\n

C\/Gas\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Atomic Hillbilly \u201962 Chevy II Sedan of Todd Napier was one of the cars that had to leave Saturday night so we weren\u2019t able to get any information about it.\u00a0 We\u2019ll rectify that next chance we get.<\/p>\n

A\/Gas\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Pale Rider \u201955 Chevy was sporting clean sides with no stickers or graphics for this event.\u00a0 The Shannon Smith ride from Gowensville, SC had the crowd on its feet on every pass.\u00a0 Motivation comes from a Fulton BBC with a Hightower trans sending much power back to a 9\u201d differential.\u00a0 Wowza this thing has some dance moves.\u00a0 Brushed the wall on one pass and only grazed the wheel.\u00a0 I figured there would be body damage\u2026.but no.<\/p>\n
