The Greek at Bakersfield



Chris "The Greek" Karamesines getting pushed to the line in 1964. 
This was the much anticipated showdown between 'The Greek' and Greer-Black-Prudhomme in round one at the '64 March Meet; Karamesines crushed G-B-P with a 7.92-189.86; although Connie Kalitta won the race, Karamesines set low e.t. of the meet at 7.84.

The Chizler smokin' em on down the track at Bakersfield in 1963.
  Chris set low e.t. of the meet at 7.99

Also at Bakersfield in 1961

Amazingly, at 80 years old, Chris defeated Doug Kalitta in the first round
 of Top Fuel at Bristol Dragway on June 19, 2011.
