How do all the racers feel about Mopar allowing the naming rights of Hemi Challenge to usd by the group out of Indiana to promote and run the series? Do you feel that will help or hurt what you guys as racers have built?

I think it's a great idea. Mopar only wants to be in control of their one event (Indy), and not run an actual series. With the several groups that try to run an event (Us, Painter's in Vegas, Mopar Action in Maple Grove, etc.) it will allow some continuity between all the groups, and give the racers a reason to travel a little more. With the possibility of a points fund and solid purses you might see more guys to more races. But this is all in theory. Nothing happens unless sponsors step up and help this grow. All they Nash's are doing is centralizing everything so there is a common theme. (Points, rules, race structure) The Nash's want only to make the "Hemi Challenge" as big as it possibly can be, which will then in turn have better purses and more races. They also own an AH car, and may one day actually race it, so they are seeing this not only from a promoter's viewpoint, but also the racers'.

I support it 100%. It will do nothing but help the SS/AH racing scene grow larger.

I agree with Ben. The Nash folks also keep up the website and event photos without pay I think. I hope the Div. 4 guys help host a Choot out at Cajun Sports Nats in March. So far we have $5k. Hope to get us parked together, catered Cajun supper, more prize stuff etc.

Wet day down here so I did a little research on the class using DRC archives for Indy only.

State of Corruption



Serious as they may have been, the rest of the match race clan was just as serious and the evolution of the "funny car" was under way. "Dyno" Don Nicholson was under contract with the Lincoln - Mercury division to compete in a factory backed Comet F/C and he along with Jack Chrisman, and Eddie Scartchman, raised the bar in 1965 with the first "flip top" fiberglass bodied cars. Their performance was dominating, and other racers soon followed their lead. By 1967 the "Kingfish" had become a flip top bodied car, with a state of the art Logghe chassis. Reyes and the "fish" remained competitive, but the expense and grind of maintaining a competitive racer was beginning to concern Bill Taylor. A brief flirtation with retirement from the drag racing scene prompted Taylor to sell the "Kingfish" to local racer T.B. Smallwood. The "Kingfish" name went to Smallwood along with the hardware. Taylor was out; for at least a few months.
