Great footage, I can vouch for it being at Gateway. I'm the one with the white shirt and black hat in the background in the middle of most of the video. The gentleman with the beard that was with the Green Monster gave me his camera and asked me to take photos for him, I forget his name. I had talked with him for quite a while earlier in the day and learned alot about this car. Tommy was great to talk to also.

@Grabber1100 thanks for the backup, its kind of ironic though because my father and his friends were actually the ones who put the MCR event on, but thanks none the less, and yes, he is very kind and has sooo many interesting stories to tell, especially to an actor like myself about his film credits

Is this fron the Famoso CHRR that happened two weeks ago...?

[musclecarloverjoeroc]

@ThomasDeLello nope, this happened over the summer of 2010 at Gateway Intl. Raceway

@rentatrip1 The Arfons' cars were all named Green monster, like Garlit's cars are all 'Swamp Rats. and in the beginning the Monsters were piston powered... jets came later when they became available.

not "THE" green monster which was always a modified "ARFONS" turbo JET engine - this is a aircraft PISTON engine & is Green but not of the legendary Arfons clan so it is a knock off of the original name sake
