PIEDMONT DRAGWAY REUNION
#118
IN OCTOBER OF 1994 A REUNION OF THE STARS AND CARS FROM THE EARLY DAYS AT GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA'S PIEDMONT DRAGWAY WAS HELD AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EVENT. IF YOU SAW OUR S/S & FX ERA 63 - 67 TAPE YOU WILL RECALL THAT MOST OF THE FOOTAGE WAS SHOT AT PIEDMONT. ON THE VIDEO YOU SAW LEE MALKEMES CRASH HIS T-BOLT. NOW SEE HIS TRIUMPHANT RETURN TO THE TRACK THAT ALMOST TOOK HIS LIFE 29 YEARS EARLIER. RIDE WITH HIM AS OUR IN-CAR CAMERA FOLLOWS HIM DOWN THE TRACK. IT MAKES ME HOLD MY BREATH. MEET PIEDMONT'S ORIGINAL OWNER BOBBY STAR AND THE PEOPLE HE HELPED TO MAKE FAMOUS: RONNIE SOX, LARRY "GOOD OLE MR. WILSON" WILSON, BILLY WEST, HUBERT "GEORGIA SHAKER" PLATT AND OTHERS. WE ALSO MAKE A SIDE TRIP TO BILL BLAIR'S RACE CAR SHOP. BILL IS A VERY SERIOUS COLLECTOR OF NOSTALGIC DRAG VEHICLES AND HE OPENED THE DOORS TO HIS SPECIAL WORLD TO US. INSIDE WE FOUND A BUNCH OF SUPER DUTY PONTIAC'S, 409 CHEVY'S, DRAG RACE MOPAR'S AND THE FORMER STRIP TEASER 65 A/FX FALCON. WELL IF YOU WERE A FAN OF COW PASTURE, RUN WHAT YOU BRUNG, SOUTHERN STYLE MATCH RACING THIS VIDEO IS FOR YOU. THIS IS A FULL TWO HOUR VIDEO. This video is fully narrated with a story line that runs on top of the video action.
