Geezer Grumblings

The nostalgia gasser movement has lost a big time supporter and long time friend with the passing of Byron Stack, on Easter Sunday. Long known for his comprehensive website "Gasser Madness", Byron was more than a website guru......he was a wealth of information (almost better than Google), a photographer, a supporter of the Geezer Gassers from its earliest beginnings, but most of all, a friend. I can only hope someone can maintain his website love, Gasser Madness. No one will be able to match his passion and love for the cars, the people, the nostalgia movement, and the knowledge it took to maintain the thing....it may take a group. But it needs to be maintained, as a tribute to his memory. Godspeed Byron.

The GEEZER GASSERS have established a partnership with Martin Libhart Photography of Wichita, KS to provide professional photography services for our group at many of our racing events this year. In fact, Martin is already working on an exciting project to further establish the GEEZER GASSERS as the premier nostalgia gasser racing organization. For more information, check the "our photographer" link.

It has been a year since we lost our good friend and fellow dragracer "Firesuit Phil" Firesuit Phil loved his car, drag racing and being a Geezer Gasser.
We all miss him, his stories and his friendship.

The Geezer Gassers.

A serious discussion to welcome our returning fans and followers and to update both the new visitors and the "returners."

I'm here to tell all of you reading this, the one and only, ORIGINAL Geezer Gassers group is in full operation, GROWING, and ready for the 2012 season. Several new members have joined our ranks, and there are several more thrashing to complete their cars so as to be able to participate this year. And, if you check the schedule of appearances, you will see the track operators who remain loyal to us......most notably, Bill Bader of Summit Motorsports Park/Norwalk, OH, Rick Austin and his Grove Creek Dragway in Grove Creek, MN, and the "biggy" for most all, The NHRA Hot Rod Reunion 10th Anniversary celebration at Beech Bend Raceway Park in Bowling Green, KY.

In addition to our return to the featured tracks, the new management of Muncie Dragway has agreed to 2 dates/events for us to "strut our stuff."

With all this said, in spite of the rumor mill generating the story of our demise, the ORIGINAL Geezer Gassers are not dead or sufferring.....we are strong, ready, willing, and able to continue our program of showing one and all the way drag racing used to be and should be. The return to what has been termed "the golden age of drag racing."

Finally, we need some help from all of you. If you shoot photos or videos of us, either in action or sitting still, and you have no objections to their usage, please forward them to me for posting on this site. There's no payment or money involved, and we don't sell photos....there is no commercial gain involved. The photos are simply a way for all the fans and friends to see us if they can't make an event. You will of course be acknowledged and credited for the shots.

Please, feel free to stop by our pits.....look, take pictures, engage the owners/drivers/crew in conversation. These guys enjoy nothing more (unless it's track action) than interaction with you, especially talking about their cars and performance. Build tip and suggestions abound, along with these guys being a great source of information.

The website should become more current and more active. There are a lot of cars in the final stages of construction and completion. A couple more are experiencing the dreaded rebuild and repair cycle. We will be ready.....our first outing is Summit Motorsports Park @ Norwalk, April 28th......BEEEE THEREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
