East Coast Drag Times Hall of Fame Reunion

chris3racing · 10-15-2012, 10:15 AM

Okay we are four days away. Nostalgia drag racing history in downtown Henderson, NC.
Friday, car show and barbque at Satterwhite Point on Kerr Lake. The fall of the year and the cars are on the paved parking area near the lake, bring your camera.

Saturday, Downtown Henderson, NC, hundreds and thousands of Classic Cars and Trucks, and tons of classic race cars, Sox & Martin, Bob Banning, Hubert Platt and many, many more. Tens of Tens old race car owners, drivers, track owners all from the history of drag racing. There will be a Motown Missle display with five cars including one currently undergoing restoration. Cacklefest time we will crank some gassers, superstock/prostock and yes we will burn some nitro. Nothing brings back the memories like the site of all the cars, the sounds of the open headers and the smell of racing fuel.

Sunday, Vance-Granville Community College, car display and a room with old scrapbooks, magazines and old racers. Stop and look through the scrapbooks and remember the days. Special this year, a panel discussion featuring Tom Hoover, Ramchargers, Ted Spehar and others who were involved in the design and building of the Motown Missle cars on Sunday morning prior to the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies beginning at 12:00 pm. Bret Kepner is MC and his knowledge of drag racing history is incredible.

Not part of the East Coast Drag Times event, but Friday night Roxboro Motorsports Park, formerly know to old timers as "Person County Dragway," will open their gates at 6:30 pm for pre-1976 Nostagia drag racing. Match racing, SuperStock gamblers race (bracket) and test-n-tune. No telling what cars you will see running down this 50+ year old dragstrip again. Few years ago it was Sox&Martin vs Motown Missle last year it was "The Mad Frenchman" maverick and others who were in town for the reunion.

And yes there will be a East Coast Drag Times Hall of Fame Museum in Henderson, NC. As you come into town, this year, on I-85 at US 39 look at the billboard, " Future home of East Coast Drag Times Hall of Fame."
