Re: Corvette Stockers & Super Stockers
 

What an impressive car/driver team that was. Pure performance!

Re: Corvette Stockers & Super Stockers
 

Sammy -
Leonard Lamia, owner of Auto Sports Center in Little Rock, owns the car. It is in mothballs in much the same condition as far as I know.

Re: Corvette Stockers & Super Stockers
 

Still have your name on the windows? ;)

Re: Corvette Stockers & Super Stockers
 

Nope

Re: Corvette Stockers & Super Stockers
 

I talked to Leonard about possibly buying that car a couple years ago.
Great guy.

This is the former Modified with Bud Yancer as engine builder. Bud is my engine builder. They had the car at Indy when NHRA killed the class.
They used to race the car at the now defunct Phoenix Raceway Park (renamed Speed World) and I used to stand behind the car and watch that Moroso mechanical tach bury itself on the launch and pull the front wheels maybe 6" off the ground on launch and into second and even third. I think it was 288 CID in E/MP? I need to ask him tomorrow. This car had more influence on me having a race car than any 100 cars combined.

Re: Corvette Stockers & Super Stockers
 

This class seemed very popular.
Never understood why it was killed?
I thought it brought in fans with the high rpm sound.

Re: Corvette Stockers & Super Stockers
 

anyone know where the RMS-Tony Christian corvette is today?

Re: Corvette Stockers & Super Stockers
 

Im pretty sure the Christian-Sullivan -Ciccone Record holding Vette was sold to a local bracket racer who ran it at the Chicago area tracks thru the early 80s.What happened to it after that is a good question.I was at a small Indiana track back in the 90s and i thought i saw it there.I questioned the driver about the car and he told me it was not the Christian car.I will try to find out more info on what happened to it.I have a friend that may know.Im thinking the guy that had it was named Clint Smith.No relation to me.

Re: Corvette Stockers & Super Stockers
 

Lyn I think you are on the right track. Knowing the both of you I didn't think you were related as you have raced those buicks forever and I think Clint only raced Chevrolets.

Re: Corvette Stockers & Super Stockers
 

Anyone remember a pale yellow 66 Vette named Electric Banana? Dave Otsby owned the car and raced out of Louisville, KY.

Re: Corvette Stockers & Super Stockers
 

Charlie,

I just talked to a friend of the owner, that is not his car. His was always raced as a stocker or a super stocker. When he moved from Louisville to Bloomington, IN in the early 70's he drove it instead of towing it. He said it used a quart of oil and got 7 1/2 mpg driving about 95 miles.

Re: Corvette Stockers & Super Stockers
 

Does anyone have pictures of the Bardahl corvette that was run in the AHRA by the owner of Green Valley Raceway? Raced against them alot in the '70's.

Re: Corvette Stockers & Super Stockers
 

That was the only thing close on Google. With the fake blower scoop didn't think it was it but...all I could find.Tried chasing some old racing photo web sites/facebook sites but never could find anything.
Sorry.

Re: Corvette Stockers & Super Stockers
 

Yep, that's them

Thanks,

Re: Corvette Stockers & Super Stockers
 

Thanks for checking Charlie. I figured it was a long shot but if anyone would remember the car they would be on this website. If I end up with some pictures I'll post them.

Re: Corvette Stockers & Super Stockers
 

The Electric Bannana was owned at one point by the guy that ran a speed shop here in Middletown Ohio. Margrum was his last name but I dont remember his first (Dave or Jim maybe?). Anyway I rember the car in his shop that was over by Smith Park. I remember seeing him with it at Edgewater even as late as the mid eighties. It still had a clutch turbo in it.
