Lem,i think they're called a Proflite the 3 speed automatic you're talking about.

Later Mark.

Pretty launch. Is that thing being yanked down the track by a cable?  

Is that the same Don Bowles that use to race a A/SM Fairmont in the old NHRA Modified Elminator.  Maybe my memory is failing  

Tim

Yes and he still has that car.

wow.....saw that name and jogged the old memory....Him and another guy that ran a B/SM Maverick...I think from Ohio were my Ford hero's along with of course Bob Glidden. I was 20 yrs old when I saw them at the 1980 Fall Nationals in Kent WA....oh yea and Jim Waldo's A/S 1967 427 Fairlane.     When I was 19(1979) I started getting National Dragster.  Ive been a Ford guy since I can remember because of my Dad and his brother and their uncles.
