Carolina Gassers

Welcome graphic

You have found the home of the Carolina Gassers. We are a group of Drag Racers committed to preserving the heritage of our roots. This group is made up of the Anglias, Willys, Henry Js, Fiats as well as the old Chevys, Fords and Dodges that frequented the drag strips of the late 60's and early 70's. Coming to see one of our shows is like taking a step back in time. A step back to before all the rules and regulations governed all the cars to look and run the same. When we pull the trigger on one of these unpredictable, often short wheel based, often ill handling creations, one thing is for sure - EXCITEMENT will ensue. Come see our show but be prepared to have the way you think about drag racing changed forever......

We race at Pageland Dragway in Pageland South Carolina the first Saturday of every Month April through September.

Carolina Gassers are also coming to Wilkesboro Raceway Park for two great shows:
June 28th and July 26th.

AWESOME
is the only word to describe the first race of the year for the Carolina Gassers at Pageland Dragway. The track was in great shape as usually and the action was hot. The instant green starting line format really leveled the playing field and made for some incredibly close racing. Eighteen Gassers were on hand to go head to head in a no holds bard all out clash. Jim Guillen in his right-hand drive Anglia and Joe Smith in his '62 Chevy made it all the way to the final before the race was called due to rain. This round will be decided in the 2nd round of qualifying at the next event. Make your plans now to be at Pageland Dragway on Saturday June the 7th to see another wild run at the title of "Baddest Gasser in the Carolinas".
