Five of Carlton's Missle cars will be on display, 71 Motown Missle, 72 Motown Missle, 73 Mopar Missle, 75 Mopar Missle (wire car) and 77 Macomb Missle.

Now for something really unique, Sunday Morning, prior to the awards ceremony, there will be a panel discussion of the evolution of the Motown Missle. Panel members will include Tom Hoover, Ted Spehard, Dick Oldfield and Joe Pappas. The awards ceremony is held at Vance-Granville Community College of I-85 in Vance County. There is large write-up in the Press Release on the East Coast Drag Times Hall of Fame Reunion web site.
You have no idea how I wish I could be there especially for the panel discussion and to be able to say hi to Tom Hoover again and meet all the others who I have looked up to for most of my racing life! Jim
