    I think It maybe a dream that someone once had.

    Or

    I think it may be that you can race any car that has the word GASSER written on the side!

    Or

    It doesn't honestly matter! The only Gasser Criteria is that YOU CALL your car a Gasser........


    Or

    As long as your car uses Petrol! (Gas)


    Or

    Whatever the marketing team will let g



    Just my thoughts.
    Although I havn't had the benefit of seeing the 'Rules' as they have been written for 'our' Gasser Circus.

    In reality, I guess it depends on which era you want to emulate!

    You gonna give it a go Ozzie?

    Cheers Shaun just wondered as I have seen aa/gas and a/gas cars of famous race teams in early years that don't have there noses up in the air so are they not gassers then ? As for me one day I might give it a go but you never know I may have other plans like building another engine or something but don't really want to stick a steel car in the barrier because I couldn't get the steel parts to replace it

    Most Gassers had that classic nose up stance, but not all. Especially towards the end of the `60s and early `70s when chassis/suspension technology had found ways to improve off line traction. Bringing the nose down also helped with stability during a race.

    The simplest way of seeing if a car in a photo is a Gasser is if the cars in question have a `G` in the class designation painted on the body ie: AA/GS, AA/G, etc, then it was a Gasser . These classifications were normally marked on the door, rear quarter panel etc...

    Sorry you can`t discuss Slick Willy in this thread as it wasn`t a UK gasser [there`s never been any according to some] it ran in the UK in Comp Altered class.

    But if we take into account 33Hemi`s reply which is bang on the money [without splitting hairs]-
    It my be the Gasser pics thread but it`s on The Gasser Circus notices board that is dedicated to campaigning cars which resemble and pay tribute to that era.
    So Guys take no notice of the self appointed Gasser moniter and post any cool photos that you think (resemble and pay tribute to that era)
    Paul.

    we can discuss and I am sure Paul the Gasser Godfather will come along and answer your question correctly
    Ian
    Incidently if we use the law that is, a G after the / ie S/G is a Gasser class I was the European S/Gas-----ser champion back in 1991, well I never

    Ian if you had a G on your car looks like your in Mate????? and all of you guy`s reading this if you have a car that resembles and pay tribute to that era could you put a (G) on it so we all know it`s` a Gasser because that's they only way anyone will know?????
    Ian, Bob pulled Slick willy apart many years back,
    he sold on the complete rolling chassis,
    was gonna put a new frame in it and run a hemi,
    after several more years he sold the body that was in 2007,
    The guy he sold it to still had it last time i spoke to him.

    Slick Willy, then owned by Bob and Angie West rolled twice, I believe at Avon Park (aka Shakespeare County Raceway) and once at Blackbushe. It was later rebuilt, street legal by Bob O'Donaghue , painted black (Bob was a body man I believe?) with the registration HEM1 40 and featured in Street Machine, albeit with a BBC replacing the Hemi.

    No idea of its current status but I'm sure someone will know.
