Who had the most successful Modified Production car?

Modified Production, listing winning names in this class would take a long time. To win your class in C/MP, D/MP, E/MP, etc. to get into the eliminator would take some serious heads up racing. This class was as big to spectators and racers alike as any. The high winding, 10grand plus, cars with the wheels up were always a good show. Seeing the names already mentioned brings back a lot of memories. I'll try to get some local NC pictures posted on here. Keep the posts going

Up here in the Northwest, the Frizzell Brothers had their fair share of victories. My buddy has one of their old 67 Camaros.

I know that Reher-Morrison was mentioned earlier but how many remember the Maverick they had with the Chevy engine in it driven by Bobby Cross.. Also the Corvette they ran and I think it was later sold to Tony Christian and maybe was that also the Corvette that Coleman Roddy ran? Also I remember that Lee Shepard ran a Nova wagon before he joined forces with Reher-Morrison. Also around our way Doug Thompson had a Maverick with a Boss 302 that was plenty fast. I think Rick Barrett did pretty good with an A/MP Capri with a 351c Pro Stock type motor in it also.

Yes, I remember seeing Lee Shepherd's UGLY green Nova wagon at the Springnationals. He went so fast in early qualifying that NHRA took him through teardown before he could make any more runs. Maybe someone has a pic of that car??? He was a wizard with the new technology of the time called a Flow Bench.

Around 1990, the east coast team of Heffernan & Kaiser raced an Opel in Comp.
I presumed that car was the ex Wayne County car.
Was that car a whole different car?
Where is that one now?

One of my favorite modified cars was the Ault and James Corvette, but its hard to choose from so many cars. A late comer (mid 80s), was Ron and Brian Stufflebeam's corvette. It was too late for the class, but was a great car to watch in Comp.

The Coleman Roddy car was a different car, chassis work by John Harrison in Houston.

Wow! How cool!
I also remember Pete Smith. And a white Vette from Houston with two pigs making out painted on the deck lid, it was named Makin Bacon. Wish I could remember who's that was. :-).
Pete's Motorola mechanical tach always had the tattle tale needle on about 11000 when he came back from a run. I'd almost get wet watching Pete make a pass. LOL On the wood on the first amber, and we had five back then.
