Was it not Marv Ripes that was the first successful person to make a glide work along with his converters?

Go Mikey M.

He got in legally !!!
Marv WON Stock at the 1970 SuperNationals in Ontario,Ca. in a 1957 Corvette at 13.07 / 78.87 MPH !!!

GO MARVIN. Its good for the sport to have an older racer manufacturer back in a car supporting Sportsman racing. A man you could count on at all times. When he told me the convertor was on a plane, I could just leave for the airport. IT WAS THERE. That kind of businessman is the back bone of Sportsman racing and sponsors. THANKS MARV! This race can be yours.

The Media Guide doesn't give the runner ups ! SAD......you think NHRA would expand the Media Guide to show the runnerups ! I've got the 1998 Version of the Media Guide....I doubt they have updated the later issues.

lf you guys have ever run an 8" tc, and who hasn't, marv was the first. the stories about the first one of those tc 's would make you shake your head. good for marv and a life dedicated to 1/4 mile racing.
