Default Re: Modified Eliminator Wars in the 70's

Anybody remember an early (60-61) Falcon called the "Hoss Fly"? It ran B/MP in the late 60s in West Alabama and East Miss. Probably never made it to national event but sure a fun little car to watch.

They were almost all small cubic inch, stick shift cars
Screaming water box RPM`s
and dry hops to the starting line
The high RPM launch and gear changing was very intense
Todays cars are much smoother...and faster
but automatics don't quite replicate it
There is a SS/K Shoot-out video on YouTube, though not MP,its worth watching

Afraid not. And I'm already well on the way to correcting the indignities it has suffered over the last 40 years. Taking it all the way back to 1975.

I bought it a couple of weeks ago if we are talking about the same car. Butch Leal's 1975 B/MP Direct Connection Hemi Duster. Pictured as bought below.
