Great pictures Arvid.
Whose is that trailer that says father and son alky dragster champions?

Larry's truck looks like an S10 and the Wally looks tiny. Kind of suspecting he must be a big dude. So maybe the Candies family aren't midgets in the earlier pictures.

Tom, I'm just shy of 6'-2" tall, and my friend Larry Hill is somewhere around a foot taller than I am.

Does anyone know why Bill Skillman was listed as DQ on the stock qualifying sheet?

Blew it up first qualifying session (first pass on a new engine is what I was told), bypassed scales and fuel check.

Wow! It's not even 6:00 AM out here and E3 of stock eliminator is in the books.

I'D say that Eric Bardeoff GT/GA was better than GREAT, never saw it before.
Sorry I called it a SS-AH car...

Eric's car is a GT/GA car with a dragpak motor

How true but after NHRA piles horsepower on it next week he might as well go to a full scale truck LOL. What a great job Larry and Patsy! We will be talking about this #1 for a long time.
