Thanks Ray for the great albom. It brings back so many memories. Those were the days!! Although bitter-sweet for me. The evalution of more modern and areodinamic vehicles of the seventies were the demize of the "Gasser style" vehicles. The Gas classes remained but the older style vehicles were unable to remain competetive. After setting an IHRA C/A record in the fall of '71, that record fell in the spring of '72 by more than .6 of a second by a Pro Stock Vega that failed to qualify in the Pro Stock class. A rules change over the winter allowed a Pro Stock vehicle to remove the passenger seat, placing it into the Altered class. Yes, rules changes also were a determining factor but the fact was that the older,heavier, boxier vehicles were at a huge diadvantage. But then time marches on. That's why I am so thankfull for guys such as yourself and others on this site willing to keep the memories alive. Thanks to ALL!!
