It might have been ask before but does anyone know who was the last A/MP Record Holder was before NHRA got rid of that class?

Not real sure...going from memory...could it have been that guy with the old Corvette
from the Northwest...Sherrill? I think the name was. Also recall Rick Houser being
listed I think...he's mostly remembered as being a SS/AA guy... think that he dabbled
a bit in Modified...maybe he was driving someone else's car?

Very hard to recall....1980-1981-1982-1983 or so time frame...no old copies of ND
kickin around here....maybe someone has one out there with a definitive answer?

Sherrill Huff ran a vette was from the Washington area. I think the last year for MP was 83. Rick Barrett had the record around then not sure if he was the last. gsa612

Sherrill Huff was from Kentucky, the guy you are thinking about was Terry Sherrill from Washington area last year for Mod was 81. Barrett was from Div 3 the younger brother of Marty Barrett Div 3 tech director. Rick had a C/Gas Pinto latter built a 351 C powered Mercury Capria the one from Eroupe wrecked a short time later at Edgewater Park Div 3 track in late 70's

I stand corrected Terry Sherrill from Ore. ran a 57 vette in A/MP then later in SS/AM, I believe the car crashed. The last year for mod. was 81 they had a tribute to the class at Indy.Did the capri run in A/MP. gsa612

We held the MPH record in 1986.. Harold Stout( David Rampys sponsor) held both ET an MPH after that.. I think he was first in the 8's. I can stand easily corrected but I do have the certificates for the MPH part so that I am sure of. Seemed fast then.

Dug up a copy of ND Aug.20.82 it shows Shioleno Coleman Alexander Wise 81 Chevy with the A/MP record at 9.19 150.00 set 3-82 at Baton Rouge.This is when M/P ran in comp. elim.When mod. ran it,s own class as of 5-81 the record was held by Reids Auto with a 69 Chevy at 9.41 145.86 set at Englishtown.I don,t know how long M/P ran in comp. till it was dropped.
