True Drag Racing Excellence!
GENE FULTON
"All I ever wanted to do was drag race", was Gene Fulton's response to being asked, "How did you get your start in racing?" Of Spartanburg, South Carolina, Gene has been racing since 1972.Starting out as a hobby racer straight out of the Air Force, Gene and his 1964 Chevy II Wagon quickly began to realize that the racetrack was were they belonged. Having a list of achievements such as 15 major event wins across 3 states, 5 IHRA Championships and 3 various personal awards, Gene Fulton is known as a tough competitor.
Gene's most memorable day at the drag strip is not necessarily a happy memory depending upon you look at it, he was involved in a finish line accident that destroyed his favorite car but luckily not Gene. After a proper burial for his wagon, Gene eventually moved on to a 1967 Chevy Corvette that lead him to 2 more points Championships. It was after that Gene decided to step out of the racecar and into the race shop to focus on his engine building business which has made itself a household name among racers.
Gene thanks his family and crew for their years of support and help in making him a HALL OF FAME RACER.
