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. Danny Durham |
