What do you do in NC on a Sat. Night and it is forty-five degrees out,,,well, go to a drag race. My local track Kinston Dragstrip held its 21st annual Winterfest. Look what I found.
It's a forty Chevy Gasser built and raced by Vance and Sons Trucking in southern Cal. It still wears its original paint from the seventies and some original decals. One is Bushey's Machine. It is in Ramona Cal. I know cause I used to drive by it on my way to work many years ago. Chet Bushey used to run an A Fuel Dragster and ran the shop.
The car was sold in the late nineties and came to NC to live in Charlotte for ten years then the guy that ownes it now bought it a little over a year ago.
It runs 6.0's in the eighth with a BBC and a single four barrell. It is as clean as if were built yesterdag, and looks great. A piece of history.
Here is a link to a short vid too, but I didn't get him racing.
