DALE EARNHARDTS PASS IN THE GRASS AT CHARLOTTE DID NOT HAPPEN

Stock Car Racing History

Dale Earnhardt is credited with one of the most famous passes in NASCAR history. The "Pass In the Grass" on Bill Elliott in the 1987 Winston All Star Race at Charlotte.Dale never made that pass.The No. 3 was in the lead when Dale went into the grass.The No. 3 was in the lead when Dale came back onto the asphalt.Earnhardt didn't need to pass anybody - he was the leader.before he went into the grass,so how can you make a pass when you are already in the lead??????

Harvey, dont forget the local guys--without them ,Me included, there wouldnt be no saturday nite fever like there was.. The local guys are what makes the system work. Remember all of us were Sat. Nite specials at one time. And to become a famous name such as Tollison,Leeming,Gilder,Clinard,Fountain,White and many more was for the few. Most of us ran for the pure fun of it. Now I have great friends like all of you on R/R to help me remember those glorious days.

ted those 53 54 frames were the hot ticket back in the day my chevelle i ran back then had a 54 convertible frame under it --now thats the real deal from the early 60's --the other chevelle i had we put a 57 frame under it ,it was quite a bit lighter than the convertable frame
Ted Brown said:

George, I didn't realize there were any of these cars left running those 55-7 frames.They were the hot setup for many years, '53-4 Chevy frames were pretty popular too, strong as hell!
George Pavlisko said:

Ted we run the REAL Modifieds down in S.C. Next race is 11/6/2010 at Sumter Speedway in Sumter S.C. it is a 3:00 pm start so we hope not to Freeze!!
These are the real cars with steel Bodies and either Troyer, Olson, Tobias or the 55-56 chevy frames.

i have put in the old fashioned "X" in the frame -- if you notice the motor is set back to where trans usually set so another cross member is there also --there is not a lot of free space left under the car. The rear end is a 4:10 so it will work at a lot of tracks with the powerglide. and yes I welded the spyder gears but not solid.there is a small amount of free play so it wont break anything.

no thats an S-10 Frame under it, it was a chevy deluxe master so it came with swing arms new and that is the reason I put it on this Frame with the front end intact, the rear is out of an old Ford 3/4 ton pickup. the motor is out of the 60's. its got a powerglide trans in it with a conversion from a torque converter to a straight thru shaft to trans. Radiator will be in trunk along with battery and fuel cell. The rollbars will be to modern day specs along with the harness and seat the motor and trans in photo is only for mock up

Im going to post two photos now,one of when i found the coupe and one of it today,no its not finished but motor is in it and finally found the right rear end for it---all junk yard pieces now. but she is slowly going together and it will be unique in its own way but it will be run,its not going to be a trailer queen or a static display car. I intend to enjoy the Bell &Bell series company next year along with other clubs from fla to whever i go but it will definitely fly the colors of RACERS REUNION. It will make its first showing at Middle Ga Raceway in March of 2011 at the reunion so I hope to see all Yall there . Let me know if you like it so far: thanks Johnny
