Amen Gary.

I bought a cast iron powerglide and converter from Marv in 1973. It put me out about $400.00 I believe. But then my Reher and Morrison engine cost $1900.00 complete manifold to pan.

Hey! That's Brian Taits Wagon he's driving. Looks like the old buzzard has qualified it better that Tait has to date. See old racers never die they get wagons!
I would have to say he got in on owner points. Doesn't A-1 pay contengency? Why the complaining?

Yea...respect your elders!!!

Was it not Marv Ripes that was the first successful person to make a glide work along with his converters?

Go Mikey M.

He got in legally !!!
Marv WON Stock at the 1970 SuperNationals in Ontario,Ca. in a 1957 Corvette at 13.07 / 78.87 MPH !!!

GO MARVIN. Its good for the sport to have an older racer manufacturer back in a car supporting Sportsman racing. A man you could count on at all times. When he told me the convertor was on a plane, I could just leave for the airport. IT WAS THERE. That kind of businessman is the back bone of Sportsman racing and sponsors. THANKS MARV! This race can be yours.

The Media Guide doesn't give the runner ups ! SAD......you think NHRA would expand the Media Guide to show the runnerups ! I've got the 1998 Version of the Media Guide....I doubt they have updated the later issues.
