History
Kevin Bru built the original 1956 Chevy Modified Doorslammer. This was a tube frame, alcohol injected doorslammer that ran 6.30s in the 1/8. A very cool and popular car that was probably ahead of its time. Sadly, this car was destroyed in a high speed crash at Eddyville in 1990 when the left front A-Arm collapsed in the shutdown area. Back then, Eddyville had no guard rails past the finish line. With no steering the car collided with a light pole and was destroyed.
Kevin then built the current 1956 Chevy Modified Doorslammer that my parents, David and Carolyn Bru now own. They purchased the car in 2002 when Kevin decided to devote more time to his business and family. He ran it at Eddyville from 1996 to 2000 and won Best Appearing Car and was very popular with the fans. During this time I helped him and also helped pit-crew for Rick Talbert and Bart Ewing. Photos of their Hot Rods can be seen in the Photo Gallery.
