On Saturday night, June 9th, track owner, Gilmer Hinshaw
and veteran IHRA Top Dragster racer, Travis Blalock had a
scary horrendous finish line crash. Hinshaw was running his Big Dog
Cobalt car against
Blalock in the finals of the Pro Top Outlaw class when
suddenly Gilmer's "Door Car" collided into the
side of Blalock's "Dragster" at well over 160 mph!
The track guard rails on the top end suffered
damage forcing Piedmont officials to call off the
Sunday action until repairs can be made. Travis
Blalock was declared the event winner of the awesome Pro
Top Outlaws class!

Hinshaw, one of the owners of the Piedmont
facility, has a few broken bones, but according to
Debbie, the wife of Gilmer, he is going to be OK!
Travis escaped thankfully uninjured. |

Due to the crash the finals of the X275 Drag
Radial class was unable to be run.
David Pearson and Kevin Mullins made it to the finals.
Earlier in the day during qualifying, Pearson (pictured

blistering a stout 4.798 in the heat of the day!
