N .C . Doctor bids a free Ride
 

Dr Cunningham from Greenville ,NC won a free ride down the Kinston Drag Strip. Scheduled for this Friday along with our local bracket race. The Doc will get to ride down the track in my" super duper" fast 66 nova L/SA. After that" if "he can stand the pressure he will take another ride in a wheels-up SS/GTFA 85 Camaro . He bidded on this at a charity auction in Greenville a couple weeks ago. We are having local TV station on hand for the news cast . Who knows we may have a Dr join the stock /superstock ranks after this. I will try to get the link when it shows on the news .Can't hurt can it.

In the mid 80's Doug Frazier had a Plymouth HR or SR IHRA car he ran at a track in Chattanooga. Im think a radio station or the track had a give away of a ride in Dougs car. The track folks told Doug to take it easy on the kid and as they were strapping him in the pass seat Doug asked him if he had ever been in a fast car and the kid said something like yea, I have a buddy with an 83 IROC. If you know Doug, thats all it took to forget what the track folks said and the kid got the wheels up ride of his life.

Many years ago,,,when Modified Eliminator was still around, I recall a Friday night up at Seattle International Raceway, as it was called then, when Tom Turner took a contest winner for a ride in his Corvette which was a 9.80 140 mph ride in F/G if I recall correctly. Anyhow,,the contest winner defers his ride to his son, whos' got to be somewhere around 8 to 10 years old. After a very stout burnout, a wheels up launch, and a 5 speed gear bangin' pass of 10.10 at 138, if I'm remembering it right, the kid bails out of the car back in the staging lanes crying his eyes out! We had a little chuckle over that one,,I never did ask Tom if there was a puddle in the other seat.
Yes,,,this was some kind of promotion,,,we thought it was pretty cool.

If you fear the acceleration then get out. I was at D.Foley's racing school getting my license and it was surprising to see the look on two of the individuals faces after making a 330ft pass leaving off a transbrake. One was in a 9.15 148 mph door car while the other was in an 8 second dragster. The person in the door car lifted immediately once it jolted him into the back of the seat and the 2nd person in the dragster refused to go down the track that day for their license runs and was scared out of their wits.
