Top Stock part 1

[Larry Hill]

Thanks for the info. Top Stock was fun until IHRA relinquish control of the rules.
I think Pontiac Racing out of Michigan with Corda at the wheel won the first one at Norwalk.
I think other winners were Byrd, Team Checkmate, Helms, Joesy, Morgan, Sorenson, Bogan, some nitrous guy, GM Fastburn, Rix, and others

I am pretty sure Vance Cummins won at least one IHRA Top Stock race. He had a Rod Shop tribute Dodge Dart. Small block 1968 I think.

Me too. Always in the hunt for that elusive first 9 second pass. What happened to the car?

Did Jim Waldo win some sort of Top Stock race many years ago with his Mustang?

Joe, I seem to recall Jim did win a Top Stock race too, not sure where though. Also, enjoyed seeing the Alouise when he brought it out to Mission during the hunt for the first 9 second Stock run. At least once they brought a SS/BA Plymouth as well. Have heard nothing about them or the Tiger car in years.

Thanks to Tom and Carol Rix here you go.


Joey almost crosses into Johnny D at about the 9:55 mark.


Fitting this was posted last week, Big Y would have celebrated his Birthday Wednesday.

Some years ago I went for a job interview at Joe Aluise's shop in Maryland I believe it was called Metro Truck Leasing down near D.C. area. The shop was First Class while I was there that's when I saw the SS/BA car. I was able to be Up close, a thing of Beauty. That car was an Outstanding piece of Workmanship, Top notch right down to the hardware that held it together. Very NICE Hot Rod. Anyway I didn't take the job but everything in his whole operation was Top Notch.
When Dave Ley was running the Top Stock / Jr. Stock races here in Division 1 , that was probably the most FUN I had with my clothes on! At the time I was running Jr. Stock and we had a Blast!
I know the "Times have changed" but at least we had some fun while we were doing it.

So.... Larry,
Without naming names, tell us the story of "some nitrous guy".
Frank needs to know because I like that stuff. Feel free to PM me but the other guys want to know too. I'm just saying.
