Pro-Stock has always been my favorite class. Fond memories of going into the pits as a kid and being able to see the cars up close. Bought t-shirts directly from Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins and “Dyno” Nicholson out of their trailers.
Me, too. I worked for Pat Musi when he ran pro stock.
I worked as a handicap starter and later as track EMT at an NHRA dragstrip back in the late 1960s early 1970s and saw a lot of the old time Pro Stock champs. For a time NHRA ran a AA gas dragster category with the dragsters using pump gasoline instead of the nitromethane. This class evolved into two engine behemoths which were amazing to see. I was amazed how they could get to engines to run in sync back before electronic engine controls.
