For over 13 years, Mullett has proven themselves time and again to be THE nation’s premier 80’s rock and roll concert experience! By delivering the best of the 80’s in big hair, nostalgic visual production, and faithful renditions, Mullett recreates the vibe of those times with unrivaled conviction. From corporate functions and private parties to college campuses, theaters, nightclubs and casinos, Mullett has the unique ability to ROCK and captivate their audience with the sights and sounds of the 1980’s rock era. Mullett fans agree; this is the closest anyone can get to such 80’s legends as Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Van Halen, Journey, Motley Crue, Poison, Tesla, Foreigner, RATT, and Scorpions without hitting 88 mph in a tricked-out DeLorean. Catch MULLETT at The Barnum Festival and let the 80’s live forever!

Billy Greco #43
"Wild Bill"
We will have 2 Billy Greco racing cars on display at the Barnum Festival Car Show May 30th
Billy Greco #43
With two iconic cars that brought
"Wild Bill" to become a Racing Legend & Champion!
Billy (Wild Bill) Greco had a gas station in West Haven, CT along with his brother who repaired trucks. At nite they built racecars with other mechanics.
This 3 window coupe was one of many racecars they built from the 50's into the late 70's. This car was an asphalt modified. This meaning was that the car was built of many other 'Production vehicles' and not a custom built racecar. It's estimated that this car won over 100 races from 1965 to 1972 throughout New England's asphalt tracks.
The top photo above is owned by "Daytonadon Wells" he has been restoring the car and Vintage racing it, winning 1 pole and finishing in the top 1 a few times being on 7 more tracks than Mr Greco. Daytonadon's goal is to win a race In honor of Billy Greco!
The top photo is from the North Turn (old Daytona Speedway) which raced on the Daytona Beach & USA in Florida.
The second beauty still remains in the Greco Family, and will accompany Dales car, with a rare opportunity
to have both reunited once again!
I'm sure Billy Greco will be smiling down, as this is truly a match made in heaven.
