1977 US Nationals. The Hemi Arrows of Butch Leal & Roy Hill. Both cars where built by Butler & both had engines by Petty Enterprises They way you can tell a Butler car is by the high side door bar. You will see this on a lot of 70's Mopars.

Bobby Yowell driving Billy Steep's Hemi Colt. And behind it is Steep's Hemi Dart Sport also driven by Yowell. The black car is Mike Fons & the MOPAR Missile & the green car is Albain Gauither's Hemi Duster

Betty Sigmon & her husband bought the MOPAR Missile "wire car" Duster after NHRA disallowed it. Here it is at Farmington Dragway outside Winston-Salem, NC. I have raced at this track myself many times. She raced it in the fast bracket classes with a small block. She badly crashed the car at a track in NC that had been poorly prepped. I believe it was was Shuffletown outside Charlotte

Thanks for all the pic's Bob lots of history, didn't even think about the fact that if you have your alerts turned on every time I like a pic you are getting a alert. I am probably flooding your box , sorry.

Cooney Hicks was a match racer out of Alabama. His Hemi Colt was lethal. He was a run what you brung guy. If you traveled down to Birmingham to race him you had better bring everything you had
