Home Video-Super Stock Cars In Pits-1977
 

A friend of mine, Hugh Greeson, took this 8mm video in 1977 at the old Ringgold, Georgia track called "Drag City". The track has been closed since 1982. I had the video transferred to DVD. There's no sound but there is some good color footage of several of the big names in Division 2 racing. I raced at this track myself in the bracket classes. You'll need to use the pause button alot because the video is short and moves quickly from scene to scene. Here's some of the cars on here:

Cotton Perry - (all three cars) red Chevy II - white Chevy II - white Camaro named "Little Sneezer"
Sonny Ray - orange GTO
Gary Goldsmith - "Super Cuda" SS/DA
Gary Ellis - "Nice-N-Nasty" SS/DA (formerly named the "Mountaineer")
Doug Yates - B/Gas black Nova named "The Exterminator"
Ricky McGarity - A/MC Volkswagon
Jim Kinnett - SS/AA Baracuda
John Labbous - "Loose Caboose" SS/GA Roadrunner
Buddy Shanklin - Vega Gasser

Enjoy, Wayne.

Thanks for sharing, it's great to see some of the old cars again.

Notice how ramp trucks and open trailers were the majority back then and
a enclosed trailer was the rarity....not like today.

Used to see most of those cars at Gainesville.

A couple enclosed trailers there, that's high falutin' in 1977. I think only Top Fuel cars came in enclosed trailers around here back then.
