The Maverick that Mike Edwards had was originally the Super Stock Magazine car owned and driven by Arlen Fadely.

Here's a pic of it at an NHRA Div. 5 points race at my local track, Thunder Valley Dragways in Marion, South Dakota:

Here's one when it was owned by Arlen Fadely. It was a project car built to compete in the then-new Super Modified class(es). http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...psd585c49f.jpg

Super Modified was the brainchild of Car Craft's Ric Vogelin and Norm Mayersohn and was created as an affordable way to race in Modified Eliminator. Car Craft did the Vogelin/Mayersohn Camaro and SS&DI did the Fadely Maverick.

If I remember correctly he had a Fairmont SM after the Maverick. One of my favorite cars at the time (1980).

Wasn't he the last NHRA Modified World Champion with the car in 1981 before NHRA dumped the eliminator?

Re: Mike edwards / modified eliminator
 

That's correct, Mike was the last Modified Eliminator World Champ in '81 and was and is a heck of a racer and an even nicer and genuine guy.

Re: Mike edwards / modified eliminator
 

Absolutely!

Re: Mike edwards / modified eliminator
 

Anyone know where the Maverick is today?

Re: Mike edwards / modified eliminator
 

Last time I talked to Mike about it, the son of a guy from Ford owned it. Don't remember his name. Probably 6 or 7 years ago. Don't think it was being raced.

I still can't believe NHRA dumped Modified. i still miss it.
