 There was also a special row...  There was also a special row set aside for AMC models. How's this for daring to be different-Stewart Dove's '73 Gremlin X powered by a worked 401.  This '91 Li'l Red Express...  This '91 Li'l Red Express Dakota truck was refurbished by the Piedmont Mopar Club and given away to one lucky raffle ticket holder. All proceeds from the raffle went to charity. Sandi Otwell of Greensboro, North Carolina, was the winner.  Yes, that's a real '69 Six...  Yes, that's a real '69 Six Pack Road Runner, and Jerry Settlemyre is taking it for a fast lap down the track. The car is one of the Smith Stokes collection.  If you're into racing, the...  If you're into racing, the eighth-mile was constantly in action. Launching hard with Don Little horsepower is Jack Zimmerman and his NHRA-legal 440-6 B/SA Challenger.  Mark Gilley definitely had...

For the third time in five years, Alan Farmer and his 415-inch Indy small-block-powered '69 Dart won the Footbrake Class title at the event.

Barnes Daniels is a '60 graduate of the Chrysler Institute in Detroit and now lives in Winston-Salem. Barnes drove to the event in his '66 Hemi Plymouth. We liked the functioning fresh air package (using early Hemi air cleaners and a mid-'70s A-Body scoop) and the super-rare Hurst mag wheels the car sported. In case you didn't know, Barnes was the first secretary of the Ramchargers club.  This all-stock '39 Plymouth...  This all-stock '39 Plymouth was among the more unique cars at the event. The car is owned by Bill Beeding and is an exceptional representation of prewar iron.
