Classic Gear Jammers invade Farmington dragway

[cbodybob]

The Classic Gear Jammers Bring their gear banging mayhem to the “Farm” for their final event of the season. I was there and got the entire first round of qualifying. Long video nearly 20 minutes. There’s two MOPARS. A 71 Cuda 340 smallblock & a 426 Hemi Dart. Many of the cars I also did separate videos on that I’ll post on my YouTube channel in the coming weeks. I’m a busy boy & will be off to another event today & hopefully my on race car Thursday night. So enjoy the gear crunching action fellas. I sure did. Classic Gear Jammers Four speed mayhem !

Thanks for the great video. North Carolina is certainly loaded with GM products. There's a couple of Mopars that run at Piedmont on a regular basis.

cool shots, racers rowing the gears
thanks for sharing

I like it's heads up racing,
even if it's just qualifying

not the a-typical bracket racing on the brakes, delay boxes & throttle stops
all aided gadgets stuff

that probably happens later

what are they running ET/MPH-wise ?
can't see or read it, moving the camera off it too fast
no harm no foul

Drag Racing is all about the #'s

I assume it's 1/8 mile

Yes 1/8 mile. I couldn’t see the boards. Always hard to see them at this track. They ranged from low 5’s to mid 7’s
Definitely bracket style eliminations but I think they are paired up in some fashion.

Hopefully we can get more to show up October 16 than they did at Piedmont did this year.
Being that they moved from May to mid October with cooler weather has to be much better for all involved.

Thanks for the Video!!

Where in N.C. are you? Reidsville, in the county outside of the city limits here.

That’s very true. Haven’t made up my mind yet. The Henderson show has had a couple bad years now. The lady that was running it was into drag racing & invited all the old time racers & many came with their cars. That was a treat. She retired & the guy that runs it now isn’t into drag racing so he didn’t invite the nostalgia cars back. At least that’s what I’m told. The old race cars to was what made it such a great show.

Is that the show at the Hwy 55 burger joint?

No it’s downtown Henderson. A mile long. Cars lined up both sides of the street.
