ON THE EDGE Tulsa’s own “Hollywood” Bobby Treadwell drives into tire smoke on a qualifying pass at the fall Throwdown in T-Town event. Treadwell in his 1966 Pontiac GTO made several hard- charging attempts at the track over the course of the two-day event, often blowing the tires off, riding into a power wheelie, or some wild combination of the two, as he tested the power application limits of the car, which is a proven hitter on the local no-prep racing scene.
