Stars Fell on Super Chevy
Montgomery Rolls Out A Big Welcome
February, 2009
By Tony Kelly
We spent the month of September either being chased by or chasing hurricanes. In Alabama we let it blow through before we got there, so we had plenty of sparkle on the South's best Chevys. Most of the serious racers from Dixie were there also, and we saw Dan Nickelson reassert his dominance, taking the Nitro Coupe final over defending '01 Champ Jim Nordhougen. Once again the Goodmark Chevelle made its appearance at Super Chevy, and again it drew crowds of admirers. We even had the professional detailing and prep services of Gold Class car builders Ronney Kissinger and Dave Parker of R&R Motorsports to clean the car up after the drive from Atlanta, and the price was right. People who win awards for their cars are usually pleased, but sometimes restrained, in their reaction. We can't say that about Phil Williams of Mobile, Alabama, who won an Editor's Choice Top Ten Show Car award for his great '55 Chevy. When his name was announced during the Saturday award ceremony, Phil went through several phases. At first he looked shocked, then his eyes moistened, then he jumped up, waved his arms, yelled some happy words, jumped around some more, and ran up to the stage. He hugged everyone he could, shook hands, took his trophy, then tried to sit still. Actually, he showed his joy the rest of the day and most of the day Sunday. He said we had made his day, but actually, he made ours, too.  |  Trim Parts Best Corvette award,...
