Looking for SS racer #
 

Well, being sheltered in place, digging thru OLD racing VHS tapes, I have NHRA Nationals from mid '90's showing a yellow SS (hood scoop) Olds Cutlass, which thru the grainy video seems to have a number of 3002

My Nitro Joe books are at work, which I am not allowed in at this time

Just curious

Pat Ross has held this number for quite a while running Comp, what exact year do you think it’s from?

Winston track signage
Tech at shopping center
WJ went 7.47

A.H. Atkins is the only name I found for that SS number but he was always listed in a AMX

You are speaking of Bill Felker RIP from Division 3. Bill raced an Oldsmobile Cutlass in one of the Super Stock modified type classes. Maybe someone else can remember exactly which class he ran.

Thanks Travis
Sorry to hear of his passing

The video I found has his car almost straight up, never lifted, bounced at 300 plus feet and ran 9.99 at 134 plus (the crowd went wild as they say)

Later run must have tied it down, nice wheelie, but tamer

Hi Randall... I sent you a nice pic of the Bill Felker SS olds. I sent it via messenger on Facebook.

As usual, Travis is spot on....When I first started racing, Bill was referred to as the MASTER of the big block Chevy in the Indiana - Kentucky area. Later in his racing career he raced this yellow Olds that was a handful to drive. I vividly remember a young lady from southern Indiana driving this car at Ohio Valley. I was in the water box when she left the line. The car went straight up ,like usual ....but drifted to the guardrail....She had balls the size of grapefruits so lifting was not going to happen ...When I returned to the pits I saw where she scraped the entire passenger side of the car. Thankfully she was OK...She went on to be quite a successful driver on the NHRA trail......Thanks for the trip down memory lane Randall......
