That car was a really nice car when Bobby had it in division 3 he raced it alot and worked on it alot. He was a funny guy (haha) miss those days. Hope you get the car and have as much fun as Bobby did.

Could be Rodney Parks from Ft. Worth, his NHRA # was 4361........
I think he sold it to a guy from Waxahachie or that area...

My brother bought it from a guy in Alvarado Texas, I believe it was raced by a guy name of Mike (don't remember his last name) worked at a machine shop in Fort Worth. I think his last name was Foster?

Ed "Cryin" O'Brien left us a few years ago after figuring out he couldn't insult *all* of the members of this site, although he tried his best! He was last heard to be a unlicensed cannabis tester at Dope Is Us in Denver. Jim

Be careful, Jim. I'm pretty sure ,if you say his name five times, you get locked out.

Google "drag racers reunion site, Bobby Dee Myers page" and you will see the photo with him standing holding his class winner Wally with a large sign behind him with 1985 US Nats.

I raced it at Winternationals around 2004 or 2005 with CW driving it in 1st round
in stock. Never saw it in Div. 7 after that ( O'Brien hated my guts even then).

Rodney Parks
Eric Sandlin
Mark Foster
Brad Young


Have all either owned or drove it since early 2000's here in DFW area. Been sitting a bit these last couple years, was at Ennis last month but a good car for the money. Be a good car to dive into the stock world, or a good car for the wagon lovers.
