Modified Eliminator died at the end of '81. So whomever held the record, it would have been posted in the last digger before the World Finals, October '81. If anybody has a copy, it would be in that issue.

Come to think of it, I might have an issue. Let me check!

I looked to no avail. Way too much stuff to go through...

The record if I am not mistaken would have been in the 8.90 to 9.10 ET range. MPH around 150.

Trying to think of some of the players??? Corvette or Hemi Cuda??

Terry Sherrill comes to mind. Many time record holder in his Corvette and later ran a newer style car that I can't recall. Haven't heard anything about him in quite awhile.

Les Lucier from Brockton, MA set A/MP record many times with his '69 Camaro. I believe Dennis Ferrara from Motion also held A/MP record at one time. I don't recall who had it when Modified was terminated.

Terry Sherrills 57 Corvette ran in SS/AM, I`m not sure how similar that would be to the old A/MP class.

Dave had the 1st A/MP car in the 8s back in the day. I remember seeing the picture in National Dragster. May have been after Modified was absorbed into Comp.
