Anyone ever collect "American Hot Rod Association" bubble gum cards? Showed a picture of the car and gave a great bio on the back. Car's like Mr Norm's "Super Charger" 1970 Dodge Charger Funny Car, Hiner& Miller Camaro GT 3,(302 Z running 11.2 in 1970), Mike Burkhart/Mart Higginbothom, Camaro funny car 1970, Terry Hedrick's "Super Shaker" Chevy 2 funny car,Larry Christpherson "Chevy II" funny car, and of course Sandy Elliot's 69 top stock Mustang (border bandits). Never seen anyone else have them!

I have almost a complete set, may even horse trade some day. Many more got thrown away unfortunately. There were several series and I need to look and see which ones I have. I believe these were produced by Fleer.

I pulled them out tonight. I have partial sets of the '72 AHRA RACEUSA set (74 cards)and AHRA Drag Nationals (70 cards). Very interesting history.

If you dont have any but would like to buy some can you still do so? If you can where do you go?

I have almost a complete set as well. I think these were made by Fleer. I used to buy packs of these just to get a Garlits card or two. In 1992, I took the Butch Leal card from this set ("California Flash" Duster) and had Butch sign it at the U.S. Nationals. He smiled from ear to ear when he saw the card, and asked if I had another one.

Should have traded him for a ride in his Pro Stocker.
