The Gassers are quite simply one of the earliest modified cars which held a categorized class at drag racing events. These cars ranged from daily driven cars to drag race only cars supercharger equipped. The original gasser body styles selected became popular on the race track simply due to their availability or inversely for their unpopularity at Saturday night cruise events or as a household fam

ily car. As the cars became popular, the sport as a whole grew. Match races were held nearly every day of the week all over the country with ‘big names’ scheduled for appearances. The Gasser craze helped guide the sport to sponsorship through the incorporation of engine component manufacturers selecting teams to use and promote their speed equipment. In summary, these short wheel based cars with high horsepower and ground shaking wheelstanding launches established drag racing legacy with near out of control ¼ mile full throttle passes. This article touches briefly what the early gasser days represented without going into detail on specific gasser legends and all of their colored history. Much of that is found on many other website and captured in books.

Thanks to everyone who attended yesterday’s Open House Car Show! And a big thanks to our crew, volunteers, and amazing vendors for the work they put in to make the show happen!

Even though conditions and weather were uncertain we still have over 100 registered vehicle in the show, and we had some cool rides get picked as class winners. (55-59 car class winner must have left before the show ended because we were unable to locate the vehicle) Congrats to all those who won their class and thanks to all who attended this years show!

Tomorrow is the big day! The show will go on, rain, shine, or even smoke. So if you feel comfortable doing so feel free to swing by. Show runs from 9-3 with music, food, some new vendors, and of course lots of cool rides! Registration table will be located in the office and there will be some awards given out to the class winners (voted on by spectators and participants)

As with most years we will be using the west entrance to bring cars into the show and there will be team members directing traffic to help get everyone parked. Even if you don’t have a car to enter in the show we still encourage you to come out and we will have a designated lot for spectator parking.

We hope to see you all there tomorrow for a great day of car show fun! 😎

Thank you to all those who serve our country, but today especially to those who have given their lives for our freedom. Without that freedom we all wouldn’t be able to enjoy this life that we do. The American Gasser shop will be closed today to honor those brave men and women. Tomorrow we will be back to help with all your hotrod needs. Until then be safe and have a great Memorial Day. 🇺🇸
