It is our belief and focus that all the vehicles competing directly resemble as closely as reasonably possible the "gas class" vehicles of the mid 60's - the so called
"Gasser Wars" relived.

Goodguys Nostalgia Nationals
Oct 31, 2008
The Geezers spent the weekend of Oct 17th in Bowling Green, Ky at the 1st annual Goodguys Nostalgia Nationals. The weather was fantastic which made for some good racing. There were 15 cars there with some of them going faster than they had ever gone before. Take Bob Stortz who had never driven a race car in his life. He was piloting Bob Mitchell's '40 Willys coupe. It was fun to watch him progress over the weekend. From being comfortable at 111 mph to going full out and running a 10:47 which was the fastest Barney (the '40 Willys name) had ever gone. Bob Stortz's son Dan normally pilots Barney but wasn't able to attend because he wrecked his motorcycle and wasn't able to attend. Just think Dan the 10:47 could have been yours if you hadn't fallen off your motorbike.

There were a couple of fatalities, thank god it's the end of the year. Mr. Crude decided to gernade it's transmission, at least it was all internal so no cleanup was involved. The Heavy Hauler tried to swallow one of it's spark plugs, managed to suck the insulator plum out of the plug.

Ron Norman won an award for Best Nostalgia Race Car, for his beautiful '41 Willys couple. Congrats Ron!!

Top Eliminator went to Firesuit Phill and his '48 Ford. How a C class car was able to beat both the A class and B class car is mind boggling or is it lets see first Mitchell in his '41 Willys pickup decided that Phil was getting to far ahead and you guessed it, he RED lite. Okay now it's Firesuite and Diesel Bill with his '48 Anglia. B car against C car and they are off, but wait Diesel Bill didn't wait till it was his turn so he RED lite too! Better to be lucky than good. Way to go Firesuite Phil you knocked out all this BIG cars again!!

Musclecar Reunion and Nostalgia Drags - KCIR
Oct 06, 2008
Eight of the Geezers were at KCIR over the weekend for the Musclecar Reunion and Nostalgia Drags. the weather was great and so was the racing. During the evening runs, they went really old school and started the Gezzer Gassers with the flagmen for the old St. Louis International Raceway. Man that was cool to see, watch for video on Youtube.

The Geezers came from far and wide to particiapte in the event with the long haul award going to Steve Cregut ("The Rat") of Rat Now racing. They traveled 700 miles going to the event and only live 46 miles away, go figure??

The runner up was Ron Normann of Outa Control Racing. Ron and his group traveled 525 miles to get there.

The C/G cars of the group had better be tuning their cars as there is a new 'C' Gas king about to emerge. Tom Cray has been tweaking on his Cadillac and has managed to get it down to 12.16 @ 109 mph and he tells me he isn't done.

B/G was a toss up with Ken Kapper winning some and Chuck Lipka winning the others. Outa Control Kenny was racing the Lumpy Cadillac and it was all he could do to stay ahead of him.

 A/G was a different story, Bob Mitchell with his '41 Willys pickup D'Railed took on the Rat, Mr. Crude, Outa Control Racing to become the "A/G King" of the weekend. The other A/G cars that weren't there better be watching their mirrors as he (D'Railed) is comming for them.

If you like nostalgia racing be sure and put these events on you calender for next year you don't want to miss Musclecar Reunion and Nostalgia Drags
