Keith,
The Gas Up party is for racers...period. Some old time SCTA/BNI folks and a
lot who run both races and even some who just go to USFRA events. As far as
Jack cares it's for folks who go fast on land. Nice guy. He did scare the
daylights out of Grant Davis, a local Salt Lake street rodder when he buried
the speedo on his "34 going up to impound one year. This year he is going
to drive Grant's 32 coupe...big block Chev, Blower, nice black primer paint
job. Watch for it and an owner with whiter hair than usual.
Wes
