That's the guy...Terry Sherrill. NOT sure if he was the last A/MP record holder...but
remember seeing the name on the records page many years ago.

Thought that Barrett usually ran B/G...or C/G.

Sherrill Huff was a tough Modified competitior from Kentucky...and might have owned
and managed the Ohio Valley Raceway near Louisville. Maybe he still does?

Anybody know who the last G/MP record holder was...and what was the E.T. ?

Bob Frey would know the answer to that one...

Barrett did run gas class mostly C/G with Pinto but Built Capri after he sold Pinto.

Found a copy of the March 79 copy of SSDI mag. There is a 4 page article on the Barrett 73 capri running A/MP. It shows Lambeck with the record at 9.27 in mid 79. gsa612

The Capri ran A/MP in this pic although hard to see.

Dave Hughes had the record at 8.78 in I believe 1985. He retired the car and I bought it from Dave in 1987 minus engine. I ran in comp in A/MP before NHRA dropped Modified and ran it in B/G before they dropped Gas forcing me to run in to E/A. Harold Stout ran a Firebird in A/MP in 1988 and he might have lowered the record. By the way, this Vette which I still own is Tony Feil then Joey Heffiermen Sr.former cars.

As of 5-81 it shows Crawford Benham Jack Lastor at 10.52 128.75 with a 68 chevy.When M/P ran in comp. the lowest class was E/MP. gsa612

Thanks for the info...Forgot that M/P went to Comp...thought it went immediately into
Super Stock. Just can't remember everything...

Do we have an answer for the original question on A/MP record?

Recall the Reid's Auto entry...it was a Camaro driven by a guy named Lucier...think I
saw it once or twice...

Thanks gsa612 for the info on G/MP...I remember when the record was 11.91...by
Blevins in the Nomad...but that was ages ago. I know eventually it got pushed into the
10's...but didn't think it went that deep.

IIRC, I think Tom Haner in the ex-Lambeck 68 Barracuda had it at 9.01 at some point, not sure if he was the last.

Barretts Capri can be seen in the background of this picture. It was at the Cajun Nationals seen here running A/MP.
