HH Note: This is an 1/8th mile (or so) unsanctioned track that we visited a few years back when they ran a pair of nitro floppers here. A very fun place that attracts crowds that could make even strips like Mission jealous, we must say the near rocky hill area off the left side of the track and rather treacherous shutoff area make this a very 'exciting' place to watch the faster cars. Located smack in the middle of a summer/winter playground that features all kinds of excellent amenities, T Mtn. is worth a visit for any 'real' drag fan.

 


The Front Engine digger is Steve Kendall from Penticton. The yellow '23T Altered is owned by Bill Boult from Penticton.


1964 Cab Over Dodge A100 is owned by Darrin Venne of Penticton.


1970 Dodge Dart Swinger is owned by Gary Sylvester of Naramata and was co Champion in Super Pro for 2000.


The 73 Vega is owned by Jim Graham of Naramata.He just purchased this car from the Abbotsford area and has only raced it a couple of times. Of interest is that Jim is in a wheelchair and races with hand controls which we had to adapt into the car. The first time he raced it we only had controls for the throttle and brake and he had to let go of the wheel to shift. He now has a electric shifter which makes it a little less harry.


The Saturday Night Special II Vega of the Mercer family.


The Little Shaker is owned by Perre Zmean of Kelowna.


'Slick' Nick's 9 second bottled small block street Camaro will step up bigtime in 2001.
