April 1978 - Rockingham International Dragway

Thanks for sharing the photos. Brings back thoughts of better times. From where I live, I was close to 1 hour away from Rockingham, Shuffletown, Mooresville, Farmington, and Piedmont.
Spent way too many weekends sniffing purple gas fumes.

I've got pics from those places, with people like Charles Carpenter, Gene Fulton, Bob "Jungle" Lane, Johnny McGuirt, Chuck Gallagher, Johnny Gibbons, to name a few. Wasn't sure how many local people there are on the forum who may remember those guys.

Charlie Carpenter had the worlds fastest 55 Chevy. One racer friend of mine ran a Gene Fulton engine in a Chevy Monza. I think he still has the Fulton tag on his pickup. He always
said that tag costed him enough and that he had to keep it forever.

I knew several of these people back in the day, actually remember all.
