I grew up watching those cars.Can anyone tell me the specs on those High Winding Motors.Im curious to know what most people ran.Cubes,Stroke,Bore,and what Heads they ran back then.Those Motors were way ahead of their time.

I agree. I remember as a 6-8 year old pouring bleach under my Dads slicks at Epping and Conn. Dragway. Whenever he ran a 'Vette, I assumed we would lose. Those cars scared me! I remember we went to a race in Maryland or Virginia and there was a 'Vette there that my Dad was in awe of. Think it was lettered Martinez and Barth or something like that. Anyone remember? I also remember getting beat regularly by Larry Kopp and "Sundays Child", driven by some guy named Al Hoffmann! M/P ruled! Manny Sousa |

All
I added another video of the McLemore dry hop from 1992. Why is it that a new, ground hugging, 8.10 comp car is less fun to watch than this car? I can't believe he got 3 dry hops in, and thought about a fourth one! This may have been the coolest thing at the entire event. Glad I caught it. Last edited by Don Sofranko; 01-01-2019 at 06:00 PM.

Thanks. Here are a couple of shots of my Dad racing the "Addict" at Mason Dixon in I think 1973.
