Yep. Smith had a Maverick sponsored by a lady country singer. Don't listen to that stuff, so can't remember her name. I ran against the Maverick, never got to see John's Nova run. Do know it was fast. Smith's Maverick was too. Jack Roush engine, don't remember who did the car. Don Hardy, maybe?
They had some IHRA races in this area about then. I took what weight I could (Not near enough, still about 80 lbs heavy) out of my NHRA C/SM Camaro to try to run with them. I could run with all of them that came back to this area but Smith. Royce Freeman (Sr) added weight to his B/SM car to run those races also. Heads up is fun.
