Finger Wins Eagle’s Nest In Dramatic Fashion

BANNER ELK, NC - At the Second Annual Rock-N-Road Hill Climb at the Lodges at Eagles Nest John Finger, whose racing career includes multiple wins at the Chimney Rock Hill Climb and the 24 Hours of Daytona, returned to hill climbing in dramatic fashion. With little time left and “King of the Hill” honors in hand he loaded up his Riley Protofab Super Vee only to see his victory being snatched away by fellow Greenville, SC resident Gary Ramsey in his Cobra replica. Finger then unloaded his car for one last run and was able to recapture the crown. “I really had to pedal hard for this one.” said Finger, “I’m on top of the hill, not over it.” Finger’s winning time was 1:28.368, one and a half seconds faster than Ramsey. For Ramsey, whose background is decades of circle track racing, it was only his second attempt at a hill climb in a car that he builds and sells; the ‘66 Cobra Replica.

The top street-legal car was a 2006 Subaru WRX STI driven to, from and at the event by Steven Rankins with a time of 1:34.733, good for seventh overall.

The closest competition of the weekend was in C-Street Prepared class where Jeremy Cox edged defending CSP Champ Willie Stock by .059 seconds in a back and forth battle that saw Cox’s car go down with mechanical problems on Saturday afternoon only to be fixed by noon Sunday and return to action. It was Cox’s first hill climb win.

Cripple Dog Charleston Car Show -
Early December, 2007

 

WOW! What a Show! Thousands of people came to Boone Hall Plantation's "Avenue of Oaks" to see the finest show cars & trucks in the southeast! Everything from Lamborghinis to Rat Rods, they were all here! The bands were great and the food was superb! The vendors were there in force and a special thank you to all the sponsors!

 

We're already planning our events for 2008 so check our event schedule page often!

 

At the Inaugural Carolina Car Classic & Hot Rod Run, we were prepared for a good turn out but this was unbelievable! Over 5000 people turned out on a beautiful day to see over 500 of the most magnificent show cars & trucks from all over the east coast. From Maryland to Florida, they came from all over to decide who was "Best of the Best" By 12 noon, traffic had to be stopped and re-routed. By 1 P.M. we had completely run out of admission tickets! Our apologies go out to anyone who had to wait to get in or was inconvenienced in any way. And if you think this show was something, wait until you see next year's show!

 

As always with a Cripple Dog event, you won't want to miss it.

 

We are listed on the best cars in the carolinas trophy on display at boone hall plantation.

 

Won "Best Domestic Exotic Class" -
Only 18 winners
