Didn't a Motion Equipped 454 Camaro Hold the A/MP and M/MP NHRA record in the early 1970s.

What he said ---plus there was that rookie [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img][Bill "Grumby" Jenkins]---I think he pulled one or two hole-shots on the favored competition.-These fellas gave it their best shot everytime, no matter who they were up against--otherwise it is just a matter of numbers and statistics and believe me that is not the magic formula to win a race.---I feel better now [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]----JoeG

Strange story about this magazine....

I'm not sure how the actual point standings wound up but here's a couple shots of Dennis Ferrara who took over the A/MP & B/MP duties waving the Motion banner. Notice some evolution in the 2 pics. Coincidentally, Ferrara also ran the 70 Grumpy's toy XIII [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] car in it's last incarnation until 77 I believe.

In 1974 Dennis Ferrara set the A/MP record at 9.39 in Suffolk, Virginia. He also had the MPH at 145. He used to make many test runs at Cecil County and usually put the car in the low 9.20's in many occassions at that time. Great Competitor! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img]
