Who is at the wheel of the D/MP record holder making a low 10 second pass in late 1971?

I’m not quite sure, but looking at it, I don’t think that Fred Egloff had wheelie bars like
that on his Camaro. I think that Ralph Ridgeway in 1971 had a “69 Camaro or he had
gone to his “70 -“71 Camaro……….SOooooooo my guess is that it is the “EQUALISER”..

Thanks for posting this but a correction is in order…….Yes it was a D/MP car that ran under the record for NHRA but the record I had was AHRA DHR F1…This was the same weight break and rules as NHRA………When I ran the Div. 1 points meet at E-town for NHRA I blew the motor on the backup pass to set the record…The car went almost a full 10th under………..Those were the days!!!! 🙂

Hey Frank….I heard you guys had a great time today…Excellent!!!!!!! The wheelie bars: Those were the only ones that worked until mid 70’s…They were pre loaded with big block valve springs 😆 No bull 😎
