Smile Remember "PRO GAS" ?

Before there was Super Gas,, there was a class called Pro Gas, which I believe got its start in northern California. Remember Bob Bunker and Dave Riolo and their '55 Chevys? If I remember right it ran on a 9.50 index,, there were no throttle stops or electronics and many of the cars were recycled Pro Stock cars, although old Modified and Comp cars and Altereds appeared too.Cars were built to run the number, not to blow completely by it, then choke it down. Heres a few NW Pro Gas cars from the early '80s I saw at Seattle International Raceway.
Photo 1: Roy Renieker's and Tom Turner's Vega.(Tom, I don't recall the Oregon based Camaro in the picture).
Photo 2: Dick Fox & Sons '56 Chevy
Photo 3: Henderson & Jwayad Camaro (ran a Lenco I believe)
Photo 4: Fox and Henderson in the staging lanes.
Photo 5: Dave Lukowski's Monza and the Jwayad & Henderson Anglia.
Photo 6: Fox's '56 launching against a '64 Nova wagon who I can't recall the driver.
If you have any Pro Gas pictures or stories to offer, put them in here for all of us.
