I hadn't heard about problems w/ the county. Is it trivial PITA stuff or legit issues that could actually shut down the track again?

John Boughers owned it from 1967 to 1982, he sold it to Gino in FL. He raced it till 1989 and then went into storage from 1989 till Jan 2008 some 19 years. I didnt know it was the "Virginia Gentlemen" till after I bought it. Last edited by bstbrgr; 07/02/09 11:00 PM.

I remember it like yesterday as that was the first night my 340 Dart dipped in the 11's. And I won that race against him. Ron

He was a great guy. Eventually moved up (or down) to a 69 Camaro, then vanished from the scene. 2012 422 Allstars NSS Champion 2013 422 Allstars NSS Champion 2014 422 Allstars NSS Champion

Which car was faster the vet of camaro? Last edited by bstbrgr; 07/02/09 10:54 PM.

The local guys that raced at 75-80 seen the car on vet forum and updated me on the history of the "Virginia Gentlemen" Pretty kool story on the car. I didn't know it was the "V.G." I thought I bought some hot rodded drag vet. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/drag-racing/1868740-1967-drag-vette.html Last edited by bstbrgr; 07/02/09 11:14 PM.
