(Photos and words by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>If you don\u2019t appreciate altereds or dimes then this gallery isn\u2019t for you.\u00a0 We caught this trio of open-cockpit cars pitted together, in staging, and running the quick brackets.\u00a0 You know we like the throwback styles so capturing these multiple times doing their thing was a no-brainer.\u00a0 A lack of big wheelies (which you don\u2019t want in these anyway) is easily made up with hefty burnouts and severely-wrinkled tires.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll end our coverage from this event at Mt. Park Dragway with the S10 crowd.\u00a0 I remember reading years ago in a drag racing magazine (perhaps BRUSA or SSDI) that the S10 could become to drag racing what the \u201955 Chevy once was.\u00a0 I\u2019m not so sure about that, but over the years I\u2019ve seen plenty of them and they are an easy platform to get moving quickly down track.\u00a0 Most folks keep the stock suspension setup and made good success with that.\u00a0 Other than shoe-horning a V-8 in there not much else requires heavy modification.\u00a0 A relatively lightweight package with more than enough aftermarket support.\u00a0 I won\u2019t say it\u2019s a modern-day \u201955 Chevy replacement, but they definitely have a solid place in the game.<\/p>\n

Enjoy.<\/p>\n
