Just a FYI, make sure you take lots of photos of the old Super Stock & Pro Stock race cars there, and report back here with some of them in the Classracer threads...have fun there.

The hightlight for me this year was the tribute to Don Carlton and the "Missile" program. The clinic today lead by Ted Spehar, Dick Oldfield, Tom Hoover and Joe Pappas was spellbinding throughout the 2 hours as they discussed in great detail how much time went into the development of Pro Stock in the early days.

Frank, did you take anything to the show or are you currently working on any new projects or just kicking back right now...I remember those old Super Stock Reunions you used to have back in the late 80's early 90's, would you happen to have any old photos from back then.

I agree 1000% to hear it straight from the "horses mouth" as to how they built that program and the stories that went along with them for a second generation drag racer it was like going to school on Mopar drag racing. As a testement to how important these guys were to look around and see the likes of Roy Hill and Hubert Platt sitting in the clinic was awesome. I especialy have a special affection for the Missile program since i had a chance to drive one of the Original Missile cars a few years back during the reunion weekend @ Roxboro ( see my sig pic) I videotaped the whole clinic and i'm sure i watch it millions of times..

Anyone have anymore pics from the show, perhaps some of the race cars that showed up...

I got these from Marc Rozman. I got some from Stewart of the four "Missile" cars. For some reason they painted the wire car up with the Mopar Missile name instead of Don Carlton on the side like it was originally. A bad mistake in my opinion.
