Dallas, Georgia - Southeastern Dragway, one of the nation's oldest drag strips, was to have celebrated their 50th anniversary earlier this month but an un-announced entry, Hurricane Dennis spoiled the party and the event has been re-scheduled for Saturday, August 6, 2005.
The event will feature nitro and alcohol Funny Cars, a jet powered Funny Car and over 300 of the southeast's best sportsman racers.
Southeastern Dragway opened it's gates for the first time on July 4, 1955 and has been in continuous operation ever since and is the oldest drag strip in the southeast. Many of the superstars of drag racing have raced at the track and the 50th anniversary celebration is sure to bring back memories from years past.
"We've got a great line-up of nostalgia Funny Cars headlining the show that will be doing battle on the Southeastern Dragway 1/8th mile. This will be the biggest event we've ever produced and the Funny Cars running under the lights will be the highlight of the event.
Nitro Funny Cars include two cars out of the Hartman Racing stable, with John "Bodie" Smith driving Steve Allred's brand new "Sasquach" '77 Trans-Am and his brother in law, Richard Hartman, driving father Virgil's "Running Wild" '71 Mustang. Both entries are powered by 500 cubic inch engines out of the team's Top Fuel cars.
Other nitro entries include Steve Nichols driving the hard to beat "Mill Road Boys" Chevy powered Camaro out of Delaware, Rob Bruce's powerful hemi-powered "Zombie" '69 Dodge Charger, Rick Stambaugh's wild Corvette out Virginia, home state favorite Donnie Reeve's hemi-powered '71 Mustang and Troy Martin's beautiful replica of one of the most famous Funy Cars ever, The "Chi-Town Hustler.
"Many alcohol Funny Cars will also be a part of the evening's festivities along with special exhibition runs by Gary Fore's jet powered Mustang Funny Car who will make the long tow in from Missouri to literally set the night on fire.
