Re: 70's & 80's Pro Stockers
I worked at Thunder Valley Dragways in this era, and saw many obscure midwestern Pro Stockers come and go, as well as some big hitters, I will add what I can to this what I can.
John Hagen's Arrows Laverty Performance (out of Iowa, if my memory serves me) Rodekopf AMC How about this pair of hitters from the cheap seats at Pomona, 1980, I believe. --------------------------------------------- www.tmcperformancephoto.com |

Re: 70's & 80's Pro Stockers
Here is a picture of the Yuill Bros, car in its current form. I sold it a few years ago and a good friend has it. Great car, sometimes I kick myself for getting rid of it. These are pics from 2008 when I had it.

Re: 70's & 80's Pro Stockers
Mr. Burton,, welcome aboard, and thanks for posting the shots of your former Monza, I wish your current Camaro had some historical tales to tell,,, actually it probably does, but we're talking Pro Stock here!
Take care, Tony,, hope to see you and the guys out there again next season. Danny Durham |

Just a couple more of Bill Jenkins 'Grumpys Toy' Vega P/S, notice he was experimenting with different styles of hood scoops before everyone ended up using the common snorkel scoop...
