Episode #31 of the Class Racing Podcast "Al Corda"

With a racing career spanning 52 years and 20 different race cars, Al Corda remains one of the toughest competitors that any racer could find in the other lane. Als’ Stock eliminator win at the NHRA 1971 Indianapolis Nationals put him on a path that would deliver 2 NHRA World Championships and 14 NHRA National Event wins. Al is not your stereotypical drag racer. He’s a mechanical engineer with a graduate business degree that decided early in life that to make it big he needed to control his own destiny. That plan led him to buy his own drag strip in Wisconsin in the mid-70s.
Al started his racing career with a succession of Max Wedge Mopars and used a Hemi powered Challenger to win his first World Championship in 1986. Always one to have an eye for the most competitive combination, Al made the leap to modern fuel injected GM Firebirds in 2000 and continues to race an LS powered COPO today.

Al won his first championship splitting time between his 63 Plymouth wagon and Jim Kasse's 64 Belvedere max wedge cars. He won his second championship with the Hemi Challenger.

I like Al’s story about tear down at the World Finals. No tech tools so a wooden ruler is used! Thanks for these great stories. Looking forward to more.
