Would you be refering to Dr. Larry Rose as RacerRose. If so I remember him from when I use to race there. At that time he raced a yellow Buick. I moved out of state before the new Baytown track was completed and this one closed. Lot of good memories in the 20 years I raced here.
there is nothing better than a small block 5 speed with a heavy flywheel. That is real racing, if it doesnt have three pedals it is not a real racecar
I'd love to see a classic Modified eliminator class created for nostalgia racing under the original format. It's no wonder why my Dad loved the class, and the local tracks in the 70's had a huge following.
I really miss those old wailing modified cars. Great footage!

No- not him, but I do remember reading about Dr.Rose in National Dragster. Wasn't he a dentist that had a mid 60's Corvette too ?
My last name is Rose too, but I'm from WV.

Gotta love Jim Kinnett's Hemi Powered Plymouth Volare Pro Stocker ! The days of small cube SBC's mated to a Nash 5 speed are days well missed.

Jim Kinnett's Volare and Larry Peternel's
'83 Chrysler Imperial had to be the two ugliest Pro Stock cars ever! They were fun to watch though.

I'm guessing 1977 or 78 judging by Tom Hoover's car, Muldowney's car & the Brissette & Drake car.
