Up here in the Northwest, the Frizzell Brothers had their fair share of victories. My buddy has one of their old 67 Camaros.

I know that Reher-Morrison was mentioned earlier but how many remember the Maverick they had with the Chevy engine in it driven by Bobby Cross.. Also the Corvette they ran and I think it was later sold to Tony Christian and maybe was that also the Corvette that Coleman Roddy ran? Also I remember that Lee Shepard ran a Nova wagon before he joined forces with Reher-Morrison. Also around our way Doug Thompson had a Maverick with a Boss 302 that was plenty fast. I think Rick Barrett did pretty good with an A/MP Capri with a 351c Pro Stock type motor in it also.

Yes, I remember seeing Lee Shepherd's UGLY green Nova wagon at the Springnationals. He went so fast in early qualifying that NHRA took him through teardown before he could make any more runs. Maybe someone has a pic of that car??? He was a wizard with the new technology of the time called a Flow Bench.

The Coleman Roddy car was a different car, chassis work by John Harrison in Houston.
