More vintage Pro Stock

[C Body Bob]

Do you REALLY know of all these tracks and racers CBB? Or is all of this off the cuff and quick research as you scan the net for photos?

No I'm a big fan of the sport. Read about many of these racers as a kid growing up from various magizines. I am a member of a Pro Stock site & a nostalgia Pro Stock site. Both have as members drivers, crew people, team owners & photographers. Most of these guys are ok with picture sharing & love to tell stories. So I post this stuff because I remember reading about it back in the day & often the details are from the team or the guy who took the pic. So I consider it to be largely accurate. I guess I'm an amature drag race historian. My NASCAR knowledge is better as I went to many of the races. The NASCAR racers aren't yet as forthcoming with pics & stories. There are a lot of guys out there who are absolute experts on both series. Amazing the stuff they know. I hope you guys enjoy this stuff. I know I sure do. These are the good ole days. It's a treasure & hope It generated more interest

This is a pretty darn good collection of vintage pics & stories. Takes a lot of time to do this. And I do it because I enjoy it. You guys are lucky I'm a C body fan because this is the only place I post this stuff & one of only a few places on the net you can find such a collection thats updated regularly. And it's free. So enjoy & share.

The Rod Shops Challenger. I believe that's Mike Fons driving. Up against Larry Griffiths Demon. Larry is still racing. He has a new Drag Pak Challenger these days
