1968 Springnationals Stock Eliminator
 

A new video has been added that was shot by Charlie Hampp Sr. at the 1968 Springnationals. His Witchcraft 55 Chevy was driven by Joe Cox at that event and went to the semi finals where it lost to John Dianna. Ron Garey was the winner.

That's probably the last time those legs have seen the light of day !!!!

Dear Bert,, there was no Comp Eliminator in those days, maybe Pro Comp or Gas Classes. Hope all is well with you. Joe Fasano.

The weirdest thing was not seeing the wheelstands that everyone does today.

Joe, good hearing from you! Are you sure about Comp Eliminator? My friend Joe Law won it with a A/C dragster. He was div 1 champ in 68 with this car.

What a difference traction compound, tire and converter technology has done to the sport.. Take the same car with today's technology and it would make a huge difference I bet..

When I watch old video of the stockers and supers you always see a bit of smoke off the tires leaving the line.. not a lot of grip
