Also, the short lived WJ/Connally rivalry was entertaining... For those of us with IHRA roots the Scotty Cannon/Shannon Jenkins wars. I was at 411 Dragway (Seymour TN) when Robbie Vandergriff made the maiden runs on Jim Bryant's 57 Chevy(it was solid white, before the yellow paint and "Thundercraft"...to see the Pro Mod evolution to today's cars is amazing and there were a lot of entertaining rivalries along the way with Scotty/Shannon being the most famous.

Re: Some of the best rivalries...
On the Pro side I would offer Big Daddy vs Shirley. And how about Lee Shepherd vs Bob Glidden, too. Shepherd was awfully tough. WJ vs The Wayne County team.
On the sportsman side I remember the free-for-all in Top Stock in IHRA. It was everybody vs everybody, at least from this fans perspective. That class was FANtastic!! In Top Sportsman I remember the race to be the first in the 7's.....Charles Carpenter in his '55, Bob Riolo-I think in a green '56- in his shoebox, and Rob Vandergriff in his '57. I was at Rockingham when Vandergriff went 7.01, quickest run ever at that date. Every week I would check out all the magazines to read about which one may have been the first to get there. Kinda seemed to be a rivalry between Harry Holton's West Coast Hemi's group and Bucky about 10 years ago. I recall in the points races here SS/CA was pretty stout with Butch Williams vs Smith&McCurdy vs Steve Taylor circa 1987ish.... Pro Mod was Nitrous vs Blowers. Then the turbos came in..... Alky funny car for a long time it's been Ace vs The Field. I don't remember when it hasn't been Ace vs The Field, really. Pat Austin was strong for a while... .
