I hardly ever correct spelling but it's who. Who drove this car. A Ho is a loose woman. My gift to Sweden today.

That is the Arlen Vanke built 1972/73 Challenger that Gene Dunlap, Arlen V. and other Rod Shop driver's drove - it was run once as a C/MP at the Gator Nats and then became a B/MP car. I used to own that Challenger - Had Arlen put a leaf-link susp back under it and had "Squeak" and Bruce Miehls(ex-Rod Shop guys) build the Hemi for it. Now in Florida in a private collection.
It is NOT one of Larry Morgan's Challengers - Larry ran two different Challengers but this one is NOT one of them.
Thanks, Reed in Neb.

Larry Morgan didn't get too involved(seriously) with The Rod Shop at least until '77 or '78.. I spent a fair amount of time there from '78 through '84..
If Reed would be so kind to tell me what rear suspension it had..I just might know who raced it. They might have had two '72 or '73 Challengers is why I ask.. Looks like the car I ran my motor in for a season after it left The Rod Shop.
best way to upload a jpeg. picture? I have a couple that might be it...

That car did not stay in the Rod Shop fleet long, Thompson drove it a little in B/MP. I remember it going to the mid-south to a SS racer, I just can't remember who off hand.

PoppaJ, You should know SV Starkey? He owned it for a couple years(1979-81) and then it was sold to 2 brothers from Waverly,Oh? They raced a '68 max wedge roadrunner(red).
We raced the Challenger with a my street HEMI and Ray Cramer driving. Did pretty good with it.
remember Ray? He was one of the Chesrown Oldsmobile drag car drivers.
Sure I remember Ray and I remember your challenger as well. I know the brothers you are speaking of but can't remember their names (old age  ) We used to laugh at that scoop extension on Fons's car and make him mad, he swore it was good for a tenth.  poppaj
