Dave Boertman's Super Stock Firebird - Dave Boertman, from Muskegon, Michigan was a Stock Eliminator legend with his “Lead Sled” Chevy station wagon NHRA NAtional Record Holder in the late ‘60s. Dave went on to have a very successful racing career with a series of Mopars sponsored by the Rod Shop. In the mid-’80s Dave’s Nationwise-sponsored Super Stock Firebird was a solid 10.3 second car. - KST DeFrank & Cohen's Super Stock Hemi Cuda - The famous DeFrank & Cohen SS/AA Hemi Cuda was so dialed in that it wasn't uncommon for that car to bomb the NHRA National Record on any given Sunday. Hemi-powered Mopars dominated the higher Super Stock classes. - KST Judy Lilly's Super Stock Hemi Cuda - Judy Lilly was a hair dresser by day and a drag racer on the weekends. She started out with a ‘61 Corvette that raced in B/SP class and soon graduated to Hemi-powered Plymouth Belvedere, and later a Hemi ‘Cuda. Dick Landy's Super Stock Dodge Challenger - Dick Landy was one of a handful of movers and shakers in the early days of Super Stock, turned to A/FX, turned to Funny Cars, turned to Pro Stock racing. Whatever kind of machine Landy was racing with he was usually winning. Butch leal's Super Stock Plymouth Belvedere - Thanks to Grumpy Jenkins' '72 tube framed Vega, Pro Stock cars quickly got expensive to build and race as fast as et's were dropping! Many racers simply couldn't compete or felt that the class was rapidly getting away from what it started out to be. Butch Leal's 1964 Super Stock Ford Thunderbolt - California racer Butch Leal was always a contender and a crowd favorite. He was young and handsome so they called him "The California Flash." Leal would later go on to race a series of A/FX, Super Stock, and Pro Stock cars. Jesel Brothers Yoo-Hoo-Too 1956 Chevy Sedan Delivery Wagon - Wayne and Danny Jesel bagged a most unusual sponsor during the very early days of their racing careers. "Yoo-Hoo" is a East Coast regional chocolate drink that was so impressed with the brothers sponsorship presentation for their Tony Massari-built Chevy racer, they gave the team several thousand dollars to help their racing effort. The only thing they had to do in return was hand out ice-cold Yoo-Hoo drinks to the fans at the drags. Sweet DEAL! Golden Commandos Barracuda - The "Golden Commandos" Barracuda used a 273 cubic-inch small-block Mopar engine and was part of a long series of "Commandos" Mopar race cars. - KST Roger Lindamood's Color Me Gone Dodge - Shortly before battling in the '60s Funny Car Wars, Roger Lindamood's "Color me Gone" '64 Dodge won the '64 Indy Nationals Stock Eliminator with an 11.31 over Jim Thornton's Dodge running a close 11.47!
