CLASS RACER FORUM - Old modified production/gassers photos

Here's one of my Dad's car. Kenny Rose from Martinsburg, WV. 426 Hemi powered with Hilborn injection. Car was raced mainly at Mason Dixon & 75-80. I'd love to have more pictures of this car.

The lower shot is obviously Spokane, back in the AHRA days, as you can tell by the steep, close, concrete grandstands and the class designation on the window.
Deffinately a couple cool old photos.

That was taken at the old Edmonton Alberta strip in 77. The corvette in the other lane was Tom Turner.

Cool pix, Tom. Here's a rare photo of one of Paul Gentilozzi's earlier cars.

Does it count? Yes and no. :) They were allowed in 'Modified' eliminator when, in the latter half of the 1970s 'til (the category was cancelled in 1981), in a combined Modified/Competition eliminator due to a low turn out of NHRA class legal cars locally. Ditto Stock/Super Stock combo eliminator.
