Classic Race Car Show From Back In September '07 {Dial Up Beware! 35pics}

[TruckDriver]

My Dad did the picture taking, and I just got them back last night. This is a small organization of retired E.W.S.C.A (Eastern Wisconsin Stock Car Association). They have a yearly get together/reunion and as of this past year, the official home is in my hometown of Hartford, Wi.. I remeber growing up watching these run on Slinger Speedway when it was still a dirt track. I remember a few from Plymouth, Wi. too. I thought some of you guys would like to see these. There is some Mopar Modifieds in this including a '68 Dart. If you never seen old school Modifieds like these, Back then, they took a full sized car, and narrowed it down to race specs. So, these were all street drivin' full sized cars when they started life. The purple Gremlin, the pink Corvette, and the red & white coupe were the top drivers in the '70s & '80s. The pink '63 Vette was driven by the builder til he retired at 65. And he finished #1 in the points in the '80s. He was known as the flying grandpa. Yes, all these cars run and drive on alcohol (love the smell too  ). The Modifieds with wings or wing mounts are cars from the '80s.





























MOPARS!
