Pro Stock Show on Fox TV

[Mike_in_Toney]

Ratings from the big show this weekend but not the pro stock show. I wonder how it did ratings wise.

I am really impressed with the cars in the photos - especially the golden sedan with the blower motor. That car looks right outta 1960 as an AA/Altered. Drool... I watch Velocity TV and some of the shows have people who buy & restore $$$$ cars. Saw a few photos of those. Bob, you da Man.

Thanks Bob

 

[NITRO JUNKIE]

Those are awesome Bob!

That red car looks like a Rambler with a chopped top. Oh man those are some cool cars!!! I don't care what kind of car it is, as long as it's not modern front drive 4 banger (like I have).

red one is a Ford Cortina....he tells me that it's so rare now they would cut his %$#@ off if he had chopped it nowadays

 

[Cliff]

Ford Cortinas were big in England, with the 1600 CC 4 cyl. They ran some good numbers at the drags & were easy to work on, lotsa speed parts. Read somewhere that the Ford 1600 engine was the "small block Chevy" in England. They are rare today. If I had one, would never chop the top. Don't wanna lose my parts. heh heh

Nice work Bob! You are officially my idol now since you worked on the Monkees-mobile. I remember building that model when I was a kid.

Thanks! Now where's that sandwich I ordered.... JK

That time was almost as surreal as their TV show....I got pulled over by a cop to be questioned why I was in my shop's driveway late one night....
a simple "It's my shop, hey, ya wanna see the Monkeemobile?" ....Result? I probably could have had his badge and gun to play with for the evening

ps- Cadillac V16 is done , loaded on the truck for Amelia Island 830pm tonite along with the Tucker we did last August

 

[DrRocket]

Wow. A Tucker? Cool...

Wow. A Tucker? Cool...

Yup! Number 44

Bob -

It's my understanding that you did the rag top on this as well. True?

nope, but that was Pro Rock ...notice the similarities with today's Camaro? Seats only 2 comfortably, great front but terrible rearward vision, and GM's legendary reliability...use your feet when it won't go

Chevy....like a rock!

Talking of Ford Cortinas, father/son duo John & Tom Atkinson's is a popular runner at Santa Pod.

Back to Pro Stock Show, to my best calculation the show has been replayed 12 times. I say this has been a success for NHRA and Pro Stick Drag Racing. My only suggestion is to show it same day as Nitro Show.

Bob, hope I didn't spoil that Subway sandwich. LoL

Bob, hope I didn't spoil that Subway sandwich. LoL

Nope....Jared did

BTW, How many times was the Pro Rock show replayed?

I think Bo Butner needs to do this at this year's Halloween race
