More vintage Pro Stock

Roy Hill Duster found

The Duster built by Petty Enterprises has been found. Ron Kirpatrick owns it. Plan for a full resto. Here are pics of the car back in the day. Then after Roy sold it to a Gas racer & now as it is with its updated front & rear.

Making me think my challenger has alot more in it but I am not spinning the stock cast pistons much past 6000 and most of those stock class cars see quite a bit north of that. Along with 5+:1 rears sure why not.
 
Enclosed hauler

For the 72 season the MOPAR Missile team got this enclosed truck to haul with. No more if those pesky darn station wagons.

The 2015 Aero Warriors Reunion continues with this private gathering in Alexander City, Alabama, nestled in the middle of Montgomery, Atlanta, and Birmingham. It’s a throwback town that’s cool in that quaint way, which is just the opposite of the gathering, with all of its muscle and color and power just waiting for the big day on Sunday at ’Dega for the Bucket List laps around the fabled track for participants of the Reunion. HOT ROD will be there for that.
Until then check out our gallery of 150 images that tries to capture the incredible assemblage of winged and aero cars from that magic time in 1969-1970 when NASCAR allowed the ultimate in factory backed stock cars. Back when left to their own devices the Big Two came up with these spaceships as race cars. Can you imagine what other phantasmagorical creations we would be lusting after if NASCAR had stuck with the 500, or 1,500, or maybe 2,500 production requirement to homologate factory cars? If only NASCAR had let Ford and Chrysler field an aero, no-holds-barred, bring-it-on season or seasons of insanity?
On another note there were THREE 1970 King Cobra Torino/Cyclone Spoiler Mercurys at this event, which we have pictures of in the gallery. As Ford and Mercury never got to field these cars before NASCAR banned them, and that only six were ever created for testing purposes, makes this show an incredible gathering of three of the rarest and most collectible racing Ford products ever. Check it out!

Winter Nationsls

A few intersting things about this pic. That's Roy Hills Hemi powered Omni at the Winternationals. Check out the name of the person who took the photo. He would later become a Fuel Funny car driver & then an ESPN commentator/pit reporter. And that old tower. Believe that's the now defunct Lions Drag Strip in Southern California. Today the Winternationals are held in Pomona, California.

Do you REALLY know of all these tracks and racers CBB? Or is all of this off the cuff and quick research as you scan the net for photos?
