I agree. I remember as a 6-8 year old pouring bleach under my Dads slicks at Epping and Conn. Dragway. Whenever he ran a 'Vette, I assumed we would lose. Those cars scared me! I remember we went to a race in Maryland or Virginia and there was a 'Vette there that my Dad was in awe of. Think it was lettered Martinez and Barth or something like that. Anyone remember? I also remember getting beat regularly by Larry Kopp and "Sundays Child", driven by some guy named Al Hoffmann! M/P ruled!

All
I added another video of the McLemore dry hop from 1992.
Why is it that a new, ground hugging, 8.10 comp car is less fun to watch than this car?
I can't believe he got 3 dry hops in, and thought about a fourth one!
This may have been the coolest thing at the entire event.
Glad I caught it.
