Default Pics from 2012 Richard Petty Spring Fling

I was at the Richard Petty Spring Fling on Saturday in Randleman NC. The event was at Richard's Garage. This is the second year for this event. They have corrals for Mopar, GM and Ford. The majority of the cars were Mopar but there were some handsome GM and Ford cars too.

This gorgeous 1960 C1 won best GM:




This C2 was perfect too:





A beautiful '73:



And this snappy C6:



Some of the Mopars:

Hemi Challenger:




340 Six Pack Challenger:




Charger R/T


Some Mustangs too:

Shelby GT500:


Modern Mustang:


Some Rat Rods from the White Knuckle speed shop:





I've seen this guy cruising on the interstate. You can't imagine how low this car is:




check out the overflow bottle:


Lastly, some pulling tractors:


The owner fired up one of those tractors and it sounded very, very mean.

Are they restoring or building new Daytonas & Superbirds??
Was the nose on the Daytona made of steel like the Superbirds noes sitting next to it?

They are restoring them. The two that are pictured were clean and rust free. They were doing some nose work on one but it looked fine otherwise. I am not sure if it was steel or not. I think it was.

That's cool! I really like those 'ol Droop Snoot Super Birds.

Question: Is the induction system on that R/T original??

How come I didn't buy me a house next to Richard Pettys place???????

It was chrome so it may not be original

It's great that every single car had its hood open! That's for sharing.
