Re: Hillbilly racing
As I researched the car, appears the car was an old modified eliminator car, where many pre-1968 vettes ran ('70s to early '80s). Seems broken parts were the norm. Running small blocks, 4 or 5 speeds trans, no rev limiters, leaving at 10,000 grand with the wheels in the air, and shifting at ???. Old timers say you could hear the cars a mile away, knew for certain what class it was, and felt this class was one of the most exciting of all the classes. Unfortunately NHRA killed the class in the early '80s.
