Would love see pictures of Carroll Caudle car?

There is a picture of that '55 (he still has it) on my facebook page. Think there is a picture of his Don Hardy M/P Vega he built later on there too.

That's what I thought. :-)
Water was not as deep "over there." I ran with both back then.
I think he ran a Camaro (orange?) in IHRA Super Modified later? Believe I ran him at Oklahoma City once. Royce Freeman won and I runner-upped with our NHRA (more restrictive rules) cars. My C/SM was over-weight. 1/2 lb lighter weight break, and I had none I could pull. Ricky Smith came with the Maverick next time and killed us along with everybody else. lol

I always felt the demise of Modified Production was caused when the Samurai Warrior Mazda started to win over the piston powered racer cars. I recall someone sharing that NHRA was getting a lot of flack from performance parts manufacturers because there were no valve train components, no pistons, crank, rods, etc...on a rotary engine...then add the noise factor... 10X
