Southeastern Dragway Celebrates Their 50th Anniversary This Weekend with Nitro and More!

Update: Jeff Gaynor will not be at Dallas due to some shake problems and a test session with Ron Capps at the helm. Troy Martin will also miss the event with his "Chi Town Hustler" Blown Nitro Nostalgia Flopper. Gary Fore's jet funny car was recently damaged and will not be there, either. I understand replacement cars have been scheduled.

As typical with these type races, other substitutions may be made. For more information about this race and other classic funny car news, visit

Be sure to be in Dallas, GA for the Southeastern Dragway 50th Anniversary Celebration July 9, 2005 with nitro funny cars, fuel altereds, a jet funny car, alcohol funny cars and much more!
