History SUPER STOCK A/FX & Match race photos

Aha! Very good. Eddie was from Parkersburg, a scant 40 miles east of my native Athens. Thanks for clearing that up.

 

Owned by Jack Robbins and driven by Sam Harris who is probably better known as the owner of Chaparral Trailers. Best known performance was 9.670 at 138.20 using an injected nitro burning big block Chevy with a four speed trans. Primarily a match race car but also ran some championship events.

Good stuff Rooman.

Saw the Frontier Ford Mustang run a couple of time and would have liked to seen the Texas Bandit run, that is good looking race car.

Would that be the same Sam Harris who later owned Chaparral Trailer?

 

Yep

 

Butch Leal in Mickey's lightweight Galaxie. The was the first car that Leal did engine preparation on. Bill Thomas (of Cheetah fame) was the one that suggested to Butch that he should call Thompson when GM pulled out of racing.
