I think that may have been the event where Sweet ran the first 5 second pass for a TA/FC at New England, side by side w/Lape's 55' Chevy FC during Qualifying.
@@jerrycoon3369 I was too, that's why I remember it. Awesome moment. I can still remember watching Lape's front end bouncing as he made the pass. Man I miss those days.
@@MoxieMike66 Yeah me too the drag racing back then was pretty great. I think now it's too "corporate." I think the sponsors have too much control. It's almost like an infomercial. LOL
@@jerrycoon3369 I literally grew up there. My dad & his buddies built & ran BB/GD's til the early 70's, both parents are original stock holders (I'm 2nd Gen). And I worked there all 4yrs of HS during the WWCS years. Miss the WWCS meets, they were SO much better than today.
@@MoxieMike66 Thats cool!! I live in south eastern CT. about 2.5 hours away. I was shocked to see this video. Right in the beginning, the first 2 cars at the line, the pink Berretta was owned by the Iannotti Bros. I didn't know them but I knew the guy that built that car. When they first built it, it was a blower car. Man was it mean looking. Then they switched it to run nitrous.
Can anyone tell me what happened to Ronnie Taylor? He was from Shrewsbury mass he ran the hog wild alcohol funny car than ran top alcohol funny car in ihra
@@ricknova1973 Yeah I do! It was black with blue flames right? Sponsored by a Harley shop? I used to see him with all the other alcohol guys at epping. Boston strangler, cape codder, hemi shaker, Bell boys, etc. I'm sure I forgot a few. Alcohol FC is my favorite class to watch along with pro mod.
@@ricknova1973 Oh man! How could I forget Bob Newberry! I have some old video of the big alcohol funny car shows at epping. Maybe later I'll fire one up and see who else I forgot. I used to love watching the hot rods from hell too! The good ole days! hahaha

I was at this event I was 11 years old. I loved the Pro Modified cars.
I was there. What a great day.
I've never seen a quick 55 Chevy, they're about as aerodynamic as a mobile home.

Holy cow! I remember that funny car! It was awesome! Did you notice the pink berretta in the first pair? I knew the guy that built that car.
@@jerrycoon3369 sorry I didn't my eye was on Ronny Taylor. Do you remember his old car called hawg wild ?
