Supercar Reunion #8

[sYc]

Been working on the Supercar Reunion this afternoon.

As in the past, I have made arrangements for the Collinsville Holiday Inn to serve as the host hotel, the show to be at the Collinsville Gateway Center and drag racing at nearby Gateway International.

Thursday, Sept. 1, 2005- meet and greet in hotel parking lot. This has become an event in its self. Lots of beer, snacks and BS. And, first chance to see the supercars.

Friday, Sept. 2, 2005-drag racing, move-in for indoor show, banquet. As usual, we will have a a couple of special guests (TBA) on hand to fill us in on how it was in the "good old days".

Saturday, Sept. 3, 2005-indoor supercar show and outdoor musclecar crusie-in. As we did last year, we have reserved all of the available space at the center, and besides filling the center hall with supercars, we are working on a special display or two.

This year at the track, we hope to add and/or expand a couple of things.
1. Yenko Deuce Shootout #2, open to all 1970 Yenko/COPO Deuces.
2. Nostalgia drag car shootout, for vintage drag cars.
3. It looks like the Factory stock/FAST guys will be attending again this year.
4. TBA. Stay tuned.

As he did last year, Bob McClurg, a freelance photographer, will be attending SCR8. So far, Bob's handy work at SCR7 has appeared in Chevy Rumble and Drag Racer Magazine, with coverage of the event scheduled to be in the March issue of Super Chevy, and several cars to be in the various issues of Super Chevy's Nova, Chevelle and Camaro bi-annual publications.

Will be fun to see if Marlin, or another Deuce owner can get the BIG trophy away from Frank.

Hey thats MY trophy! Even has MY name on it!

Thinking about another big race gives me the gitters.

I've been waiting for this announcement!!

Frankie my friend, it's 2005 and your reign as The Dragging Deuce King is over Time to start talking trash for the Deuce Shootout at SCR8. BTW; Neal is coming with me as my engine tuner

A word of advice though, Tommy K is bringing his Wallace a/t deuce, it's stock, it's fast, and he's got the Englishtown Raceway Park timeslips to prove it. So, we better start chasing the 13.90's, like now

All deuce owners in attendance, you need to bring your stuff to the line, it is something you can't put into words - it's that cool. Nowhere else will you get a chance to line up against other deuces - your pick of 12-15 of them!

The SCR8 Deuce Shootout - don't miss it.

[hvychev]

Hmmmm. Marlin I already smoked you once so It should be a piece of cake to do it again......

Oh boy....here we go again!

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Don't worry, I'll be ready for ya, bring it on youngster!!

Bob McClury has just told me about the reunion. I raced with dick harrell when we lived in Carlsbad and know a lot of the dark secrets. I still have my old '66 funny car, the one called Sump-in-else and bob suggested I bring it to the reunion. Maybe some of the old timers will remember me. Grady Bryant.

[Mr70]

You would be most Welcomed if you were to attend this labor day weekend.
And your 66 Funny Car would be the icing on the cake.
Can you share any pictures or stories of it with us?

[grady bryant]

bob has done several articles about the car. If you would read my book, match race madness, you could see pictures of the car and the ones dicky and I had in Carlsbad before we both moved.
