The Pacers Auto, “Tasmanian Devil” AA/Altered is an exact replica of the car that Charlie Hagenmayer and his Jamaica, NY pals successfully raced in the 60’s.

This “tribute car” was recreated and trailered all the way from Arizona, making its crowd pleasing debut at the Hall of Fame weekend.

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida’s Bob Lee ran his first drag race in 1955, and continues to race this C/Altered, Model A Ford coupe at nostalgia events across the Southeast.

Cotton Owens, from Spartanburg, SC, was a legend in NASCAR racing of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, first as a driver and then a car owner and builder.

Cotton’s guest for the weekend was another NASCAR racing icon, David “The Silver Fox” Pearson, winner of the 1976 Daytona 500.

In 1963 Chevrolet released its ’63 Impala with a special factory option package called “RPO Z-11”.

Few enjoy drag racing “then or now” as much as the S&S Racing Team. “Charter Member” Fred Bear’s supercharged, Mallicoat Brothers Hemi powered ’40 Willys is a B/Gas Supercharged mainstay at nostalgia events. Fred’s Gasser experience dates back to the middle 1950’s.
