Re: How Pro Stock Started With Herb McCandless
Great interview of one of the greats in Mopar history. I agree, there should be a book by him, or about him. Lots of knowledge there.

Re: How Pro Stock Started With Herb McCandless
Jeff and Jim were friends of mine back in in the day in Stamford Connecticut and had some great Herb McCandless stories as well as Sox & Martin and Jake King. Herb drove the 'Cuda for them at a couple of match races and Frank Russo of "Russo's Rat" fame (SS/E '69 Chevelle from Dover Dragstrip) drove the Demon and then eventually bought it from them. Jeff was from a very wealthy family and had some very fast Mopar street cars before having the 'Cuda built for $22K.
"Jeff Jeruss driving the "Jeruss & Kilmartin", Sox & Martin built '72 Pro Stock Plymouth Barracuda. Jeff and James Kilmartin of Stamford, Connecticut raced this 'Cuda then, in '73 traded it and a bunch of cash back to Sox & Martin for the famous Dodge Demon that Herb McCandless made so well known with his bumper scrapping wheel stand."
