(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/strong>While we were down at Mt. Park Dragway taking in the Southeast Gassers brackets were also running.\u00a0 Capturing vehicles burning fuel is way more fun that just walking around so I spent the majority of the weekend crouched next to a guardrail or wall trying to catch the action.\u00a0 We\u2019ve been going to Clay City (where this track is located) for many years and always enjoy the show.\u00a0 Many of the same cars we watched back then are still regulars here.\u00a0 This is not a gallery of them.\u00a0 Nearly everything in this group is new-to-us.\u00a0 The only thing we can recall seeing repeatedly over the years is the Buick Skylark.\u00a0 It\u2019s been hiking the front end with authority for as long as I can remember.\u00a0 To keep it brief we\u2019ll just mention a few of our favorites in this collection:<\/p>\n

The square-body Cheyenne was super-clean and a hard runner.\u00a0 We dig the color combination.<\/p>\n

White \u201967 Camaro came late and got one time shot so he performed a rather significant burnout for that pass and followed that up by going rounds.\u00a0 Win.<\/p>\n

The red Nova with the tall scoop and no flames\u2026.I was out of position when its burnout started so I spun around and caught this one image.\u00a0 That is an un-cropped and unaltered photo (well, it\u2019s been resized).\u00a0 Remember, you typically can\u2019t catch these shots if you aren\u2019t prepared.\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t, but got lucky.<\/p>\n

Enjoy.<\/p>\n
