Park Dragway – Wheelies, Hemis, Big Fun!"},"content":{"rendered":"

(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Quain Stott was very clear when he told me the two exhibition cars running with the Southeast Gassers were not to be included in the photos with them.\u00a0 Why\u2026?\u00a0 Well, because people see them being outside the established rules to run in the group then ask questions and generally make life difficult for him.<\/p>\n

One of the two is shown here as the Dixie Twister, altered-wheelbase fastback Nova.\u00a0 This thing is a hoot to watch and looks like it rolled right out of a history book.\u00a0 Much goodness.\u00a0 Next up is one the cars we\u2019ve seen here over the years and it still does the same dance.\u00a0 Most folks running brackets try to avoid big wheelies, but this thing has been putting on a show clearing the beams like this with consistency for a long time.\u00a0 The \u2018Blast from the Past\u2019 \u201938 Chevy is definitely one of our all-time favorites.<\/p>\n

The recreated, tribute, or whatever you want to call it \u2018Kentucky Kolonel\u2019 sports a Ray Barton 572 Hemi and definitely has the beans to get folks up out of their seats.\u00a0 We dig the old Mopars coming out and strutting their stuff.\u00a0 There is a huge Mopar event at Mt. Park Dragway every fall and many of the Hemi Shootout cars come out to play.\u00a0 They even have a class for slant-sixes.\u00a0 Don\u2019t be fooled\u2026.some of these run in the single digits\u2026!!!<\/p>\n

Enjoy.<\/p>\n
