Not too many times you get to see these guys along with the likes of Bobby Warren, Garley Daniels, Charlie Taylor, Bud Rowe, George Cureton (we're hoping), and the Super Rooster all in one room.

If anyone needs more info shoot me a pm or go to coastalplainsraceway.com

Anyone that can go to this will not be diappointed. I am missing a race on sat at KDS to go to this reunion. This is a woderful get together. You see two rivals like Bobby Warren and Garley Daniels hanging out together just about the whole event talking to each other .I guess they can trade their speed secrets now.lol. With Roy Hill going there is no telling what will happen. Thanks Troy and Ronnie Humphrey along with Doyle Evans for setting this up.

Re: 2nd Annual Coastal Plains Reunion

Jeopardy

Mighty Mouse

Party Time

Re: 2nd Annual Coastal Plains Reunion
 

Just curious who out there in computer land can match a driver with these names . I know a lot of them myself, but i am not saying .Will leave it for the readers to chime in and play the match game. Let the fun begin.

Danny:

I just realized that this is on the same Saturday as the Winterfest at Kinston. We are racing Saturday morning. I really hate to miss this reunion.

Re: 2nd Annual Coastal Plains Reunion
 

Bad Medicine = Kenneth Tripp
Party Time = Harold Denton
Mighty Mouse = Bobby Leonard ??

Re: 2nd Annual Coastal Plains Reunion
 

Mighty Mouse was Dick Henry. The name was on a '68 Camaro Modified car which later became a SS/IA (and the Mighty Mouse name was removed).

Re: 2nd Annual Coastal Plains Reunion
 

I know. I am still going to the re-union and come back to the track sat evening. Don't want to miss this gathering of drag racing's best in the business.I'll race sunday and sit out sat. Weather is what happened to the schedule as the re-union was at this date first.

Re: 2nd Annual Coastal Plains Reunion
 

Hey Doyle, I'll tell you another good name, my dads car, "HOT STUFF." A lot of people should remember it, dad won the 1996 IHRA Stock World Championship with that car. He still has it also!
