Freddie it started out tan then we painted it black. The first time we ran the car at Vidalia, GA Harvey Fountain's crew had to sweep the rust and dirt that fell from under the car. Just kidding about sweeping the track, but it was a lot of both. frankchastain

Frank,
Tweed Vorhees bought Mr. Parker's four door '66 and I think he still has the car stored in his garage. Bob R |

Help, I have tried several years to get in touch with the Charlie Brown to come to the East Coast Drag Times Hall of Fame. If there ever was a "historic" Drag Race Car, Charlie Brown would be on the list. If you are a drag racer, spectator or a drag race fan you remember the Charlie Brown.
Mike if you go on this site, would you please either contact me or Nancy Wilson, "Miss Zip" and consider bringing the Charlie Brown to the Drag Race Reunion in Henderson, NC in October. If you have never attended this event I know you will have a good time and people would love seeing that car in the show. |

Would this be the same Bill Blount that lived in Cocoa Fla in 1967. He had a 1965 Chevelle when he lived here. If he is still around tell him Kenney Kelley say's Hey. Kenney Kelley |

Indy Super Stock class in the staging lanes 1972. Lots of wagons. That's Bob Ayres' "Grog" in the center of the picture. The Cieri brothers black car right behind. I don't remember the others.

Any of you guys remember the black Chevelle wagon that ran in the mid to late 70's at My Whitehouse and I-20 tracks as well as Hallsville Tx. Father & son team Cory Wade. What happened to him. Did he grow up and out of racing? Always right there/Tough...
He and Howard Stanfield had some good races while Greg played in the pit area....

'59 is a 230hp car? How's that for parity? Don't know about the '59...but the '56 appears to be Randy Smith from VA...I spoke to him at the previous year's Summernationals...his car was orange I think...and he was running as an O/Stocker...the last year of the "old" Stock Eliminator. He and Alex Jarrell battled for the O/S record most of '71...with the '56 wagons running the Corvette 2x4 motor.... With the Stock cars running Super Stock in '72....most cars dropped 2 classes...hence the O/S cars of '71 became SS/Q cars in '72, etc... Remember a local B/S '69 Camaro becoming SS/D as well..... |
