SCR 6

[sYc]

For the past several weeks, we here at the sYc have been very busy working on the 2003 reunion. We have addded a couple of features that should allow for SCR to become even more special.

First of all, because of scheduling conflicts, and not to tie up all of Labor Day weekend, we have moved the event back a day. Here is a tentative schedule.

Thursday, August 28th, early arrivals gathering in hotel lot, plus guest speaker(s) and memorabilia display(s).

Friday, Aguust 29, 8am-3pm, we have reserved the Gateway International Raceway dragstrip for our use only. Track time will be reserved for supercars plus a limited number of "special interest" musclecars. Hopefully all supercars will participate, if not racing, at least displaying and in the "Parade of Supercars" down the 1/4 track. We hope to get a picture of each car at the "christmas tree". More details will be forth coming.

Friday evening. Move supercars into Gateway Center, special guest speaker(s).

Saturday, August 30, 9am-6pm. Indoor show plus outdoor musclecar corral.

Now, to the money part. By renting the track and moving in early, the budget for the reunion has more then tripled. We can make some of it on increased entry fees, but would welcome any other out side help. If you and/or your company, or you know of someone who would like to be part of SCR6, fell free to contact the sYc. You can either contribute a certain amount of $$$ or you can agree to sponsor a certain part of the reunion, We have set up a special account which will only be used for reunion related activities. The more $$ we get, the more we can offer at SCR6. Anyone who contributes will be listed as a "Friend of the Supercar Reunion" on the webpage and information pertaining to the event. We have already had a couple of generous contributions, which are most welcome. Thanks; Tom

Thanks Mark; Would love to see your Blue "beast" make a pass or two. I fell in love with it at SCR5. Tom

I too would like to see one (or several) of the Motion Beasts make the trek down the 1/4 mile. I have heard that if they don't run the number Joel will be happy to refund the original purchase price [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] even without one of his drivers [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

If I were Joel I would still refund the purchase price if they ran the stated times or not, as long as i got the car back :P

At SCR1, the first pairing included a B-M Camaro. It was Bill Ogle's, who raced Brian Henderson in his Yenko Camaro. Both cars were Fathom Green with Black stripes. Other highlights at SCR1 included Cliff Ernst in his modified (just for the event) Yenko Camaro, Ray Morrison in his Gibb/Harrell Nova, Mark Kickle in his Yenko Camaro, smoking the tires in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. And do not forget the Stingers starting their burnouts up against the fence.

SCR2's racing was rained out.

SCR3 saw the first ZL-1 make a pass, with Mark Hassett at the wheel. In addition, Mike Riley racing his '69 Berger Camaro and Greg Snap sideways in his '67 Yenko.

SCR4, we got to see Herb Fox reunited with Lil Hoss, Mark in his ZL-1 out running the clone car and Mo in the only Turbo Z to race.

SCR5 saw Ken Barnhart racing his original ZL-1 racecar, a couple of original owners, Gary Crawford and Bill Hunter, racing their Yenko Camaros, Charley in his new GMMG Camaro.

These are only a few of the many highlights from past reunions. For anyone who has never been a part of the racing program at a SCR, DO NOT miss SCR6. I guarantee you will have a blast. Jusk ask any of the many owners who have participated in the past.

Hey Rob, Have you ever thought about getting the Factory Stock / F.A.S.T. guys out to race with you at this event?

Just a question...no harm meant.

Bill:

Actually, yeah we have thought about that, but the Reunion is almost always the week before or at the most 2 weeks before the Pure Stock Drags in Stanton. I know we could never compete with Dan/Bob's event, and I would never want to, because I have to get our car ready for THEIR event! I just don't see many racers traveling to a "stock" event in back-to-back weekends. But they might... [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
