Well, I wasn't going to post any more videos of the wheel standing and gear jamming 'SS/Production' IHRA super stockers that so many of us saw every year at Darlington SC (best spectator track in the country imo) and Rockingham NC and Bristol TN.
But I could not help myself,lol.
And I am doing this in part to tease Lynn Engels and my good friend Doyle Evans who is actually in this video with his '67 Camaro.
This is Darlington around 1992. Best drag racing of all times. I'm proud to say I skipped school and quit work to go to these races back then.
Remember when super stockers jumped around like monkeys on amphetamines? well here ya go-
And a note to Doyle-I've always told you I couldn't make ya rich but I might make ya famous,lol.
Enjoy- btw, the cars with scoops are Production SS, 2nd pair has Boyles in the '57 Wagon vs a SS/Production '57 vette, 3rd pair has a '63 Bel Air Convertible (how cool is that?) SS/Production , 4th pair has Jimmy Flynt in his Chevy 2, Doyle in the 5th pair, Jerry Jennings in the 6th pair...
Michael,
Thanks for the memories.
Even if they were painful - lol.
In the semis - I redlit to Auston Pusey (who was broke). As I came around the return lane some guy comes up and asks " hey didn't you know he was broke?" I said if I knew he was broke do you think I would have cut it so close????
But it was meant to be, as Wayne Dollyhigh won in the finals vs Auston. I believe it was his only national event win before he passed away.
Thanks again and see you in your "STICK" car soon.
