Cool pics I can almost hear those M/P 10 grand small blocks rowing through the gears with those Doug Nash 5-speed transmissions That is what made me want a stick-shift race car when I was along the fence at Dragway 42 back in the 70's. Thanks for sharing Gus

Might as well fess up now, guys. How many of you, who were around for the era, looked at all those C/SM Camaros, closed your eyes for just a second or two, and tried to remember the sound of a stick small block coming off the line via a 9000 rpm clutch drop? LOL, had exact same thought!! IHRA Modified Eliminator Vid & 12,000 RPM Launch

I remember those days very well, 40+ lb. flywheels and no RPM limiters, 5.57 to 6.17 rear gears ratio with a 3.25 1st gear ratio and foot on the floor launches when the first yellow (4 yellows back then) came on and then let go of the clutch pedal when the last yellow just started to glow Oh baby, what memories I remember seeing Rehr and Morrison 2nd gen Corvette with Lee Shepard (RIP) driving it at the 1971 or 1972 Winternationals (SP?) in either Modified Eliminator or maybe in one of the old gas classes that ran back then. He would shift that car out of low gear with the rear of the car besides the Christmas tree and be in high gear around 400 ft. from the starting line, screaming SB Chevys had a distinct exhaust sound even back then, make you want to stand back in case of flying debris occurred
