    Gasser Circus Showdown Entrants

    Its taken a bit of time, but the Circus is getting ready to roll into town. So who is coming out on tour this year I hear you cry, well the answer to that is in the list below. So far all of the cars below are entered in the The Gasser Circus Showdown 2012.
    Defending Champion Ray Turner in his Green Onions 55 Chevy will be back seeking to defend his title.

    This year there could be some very interesting same model match ups as we have 2 33 Willys Coupes and 2 Austin Devons in the mix as well as a healthy group of 55 Chevies. Its good to see Carl entering his wicked 1934 Ford Coupe Alchemist and its great to welcome back Lee & Jerry with their trend setting Chevy Nova. The original Honky Tonkin is not yet on the lsit as Mike Noble is busy putting together a new/old 57 for his wife Lou. Last year they got their hands on Chris Mannings - Hooligan and have been completely rebuilding it into Louligan.

    There are also 6 other Gassers that have yet to confirm they will be challenging not only the quarter mile but also for the trophies, so for now they are not on the list below, but all the other racers in the Circus look forward to welcoming them into the tribute race series.

    re the Morris

    No, it wasn't quick - 16.5 @ 87 or something like that. Only had 2nd and 3rd gear and it was auto changing up at about 3000 revs - with a lokar shifter, I didn't want to try manually shifting it. But I was there and enjoyed having a go. Looking forward to doing a bit better this year!

    Looking at the list below it looks like I've either got a new car or rebadged the Dart!
    I thought Raj Tunnocks was being disqualified this year for being the wrong shade of green?

    Look forward to Garys Pikanik, good luck all ( Except you Rex )

    coco's comet

    well coco,perhaps you should 'rebadge' your car, it might get noticed! or you could race that 'bedford ' van you just purchased. or better still, just don't turn up,raj
