Bob or Tom, do you guys have or know of any pics of the silver Camaro that ran in MP out of the Corvette Shop in Winter Park FL? Chris Trabulsy(sp). We used to call him "The Camel Jockey". Not very PC now. The shop used to employ a guy named Rick Mann before he worked for Bo Laws and now Dale Jr. jim

Does anyone remember who won the NHRA modified title the last year it was run, 1981?

You're from Tulsa?

Mike Edwards

The same Mike Edwards who seemed to be doing OK in Pro Stock yesterday ?

Is the Jim Head listed the current funny car guy?

Nice to hear FJ pipe in on this.
I only ever saw the last season of the class though some of the cars continued to run a few years afterwards. What flywheels did you guys run?

It seemed to take longer to wind down after being revved than my bench grinder.

Looking at the last three names on this page, I know that Ed Sigmon is still racing comp and Sherman Sligh just built a manifold for a new comp motor, but did that guy Danny Jesel ever amount to anything?

Thanks Tom for posting these.

Tom I'd love to have a "real" copy of the complete entry list. I'm listed on part2 of the 6th page:
1368 H/MP Pat Hennebery Sixfiend III

This is my car at the 69' Nationals - Glen Self won the eliminator that year with his 67 Camaro H/MP "Storm Six"

until nhra or ihra realize the crowd wants no-breakout racing, the normal spectator will never come back to drag racing. i think the down fall was- money, breakout racing, no break out racing with no limits on money, clutchless tramsmissions, and automatics. look at the old videos, they actually had to clutch and shift their cars. driving had more to do with it than it does now. they could still do it with the backing of one major head manufacturer policing the cylinder heads. it is not the et the crowd enjoys, it is the competition. they look like slot cars now.
