I have been beat up by the Jewell family....both Larry and Jeff in those two Corvettes sent me to the trailer bracket racing .......

Both are good drivers with good cars that have a lot of history and do very well.....

My four favs:

First, my childhood hometown favorite, the Auto Sports Center Super Stock Vette owned by Mr. Leonard out of Little Rock. I would buy it for a second car if I had the disposable cash. I would put a mopar in it though

Second, Tim Cole. The most unique SS vette of them all.

Third, Mike Stokes. Very cool, fast modified vette

Tie for fourth between Jimmy Bridges and Terry Sherrill. Two very fast cars

Outstanding gentlemen, great choices, always thought Vettes made great SS rides, keep 'em coming.

Let's not forget this one, for it's uniqueness, if nothing else:

When you mention SS Vette,it always reminds me of the candy red Vette of the Stealy family. Won a lot at the Mie Highs. Also love the beautiful new Vette of Doug Engles.

I was pitted nex to Muny Haddad....at Maple Grove at the event he wrecked his Corvette......They were wrestling with something in the rear axle area at the same time I was changing a broken convetrer...

On the next run their car got up and over the guradrail.....

Lots of issues with the half shafts and joints...

I have a recollection of Bernie Agaman saying at one point he was told a solid rear axle would be acceptable.......but it was not once he had the car.....not sure if he actually built the car with one and had to change it.....it's just a memory of a conversation with Bernie....We were friends back then....

Not sure of the names of all of these, but I sure enjoy taking their pictures. Added one from the oldie but goldie days, probably wasn't a SS but looks like it could have been, maybe. Blaney Drag Strip, 1970's.

Here is one more. Have a great one of Brandon Wilkinson, but can't find it among the 3000 or so pictures.
