Re: Dick Arons' Berger cars
You guys were a big threat back then. Where did Dave Kanners, Andy Manarino and Paul Mercurie fit in with you guys? They all were pretty fast in the Modified Eliminator/Pro Stock ranks in those days. I heard a rumor the Dean Nicopolis may be returning to drag racing.
 Any pictures of your car?

Re: Dick Arons' Berger cars
Yeah, Dave and Paul were around in those days. If memory serves Dave partnered up with Maskin on what we called the Kelvinator Pro Stocks, and Paul ran M/P with engines that Dickie built. It seems to me that Andy started out driving one of the "Mimi" Super Stock cars for Bill Blanding and then later they went into P/S, although I'm not sure I can trust my memory on it. Bill had deep pockets because he had some ownership in Corning glassworks or something along those lines, his cars were always white and had a humungous stuffed toy riding shotgun in the passenger seat. Nobody partied harder at the end of a race day that Bill and his bunch. I hope Andy is the guy I'm thinking of.

Re: Dick Arons' Berger cars
I remember a Pro Stocker with Maskins and Manarino (spelling) on the side. I think it was a Firebird maybe early 80's. I think
 Dave Kanners also had the Mouse Pack camaro painted like Booth's 1969 green Pro Stock car. Early to mid 70's was a great time for NHRA Modified Eliminator.

Re: Dick Arons' Berger cars
Neglected to say that Dean is truly one of the good guys, always was. A real class act. His cars were always quick.
