  • Racing a classic car like Greg Porter's is more than a lifestyle, it's an attitude.
    One of the pioneering members of the period-correct Gasser movement is Greg Porter, and he has an original gasser from the 1960s.
    The Night Stalker, formerly campaigned by Dude Moore, is very much alive and well in the Carolinas thanks to Porter.
    CompetitionPlus.tv followed Porter for a day to see what it's like to walk the walk of the Night Stalker.

    Greg is a cool dude, he should be in Hollywood. That old 55 is ass kicking, too bad Greg doesn't race SEGA anymore.

    Even though Quain Stott has been saddled with the responsibility for running the Southeast Gassers, it was Greg Porter's persistence that got that first match race... Greg is the original 'Southeast Gasser' - my hero, too!

    Not only did he run the 5.66 but did so a day late leaving ...Porter needs to find a Test tree where he can hone them cat like Reflects he don't have yet ...so he can go more rounds maybe even win one ..

      NOT TRUE????????????? What's the Green Night Stalker that's running with the Southeast Gassers right now and all of the 2016 season so far? It says Greg Porter on the door, too!

    • @CompetitionPlusTV
      @CompetitionPlusTV  Před 7 lety +1

      +1776vtgmb - this was in response to Bill's comment. That is why it had a comma after Bill. At the time the comment was made Porter had left the group for a brief time, actually six months, but he has since returned.

      Thanks, Comp+.. I've been going through the whole history of the
      Southeast Gassers and came to the Nov 2013 dustup. Is this when
      it happened? Or was it when fulton tried to run outside the rules?

      @@1776vtgmb Greg Porter left the group when they changed the motor rules after the Greer Dragway race dustup. There was no drama just a simple Im not changing my motor. They changed the angle of the heads. He was not changing the Nightstalker motor he had run for years and this is still the current motor we run now. I left the group when he left the group. We now run when we want with Southern outlaw gassers or race at any local tracks with open time runs.
