Possible my dad was in there somewhere, but i could not tell you

WOW! I was there. That was the Heyday of Pro Street. I spent a ton of time at Rich Gebhardt's shop then. I guess I can say I take the blame for some of the paint designs &amp; graphics that went on many of the cars he produced. Bob Northrop's Pro Tempo shows up in two of the clips. I recognized a bunch of the heavy-hitters in the P/S wars back then. Names like Matt &amp; Debbie Hay, Rick &amp; Loni Dobbertin, Rocky Robertson, Scott Sullivan, Rick Northrop from our area and Mike ???? with the red Celebrity Eurosport. Rich Gebhardt had his orange Beretta there that year too along with his brother-in-law, Jimmy Weishaar's Nova. Heck, I even saw the gorgeous White '33 Willys of Lil' John Buterra. I always loved that car.

And even funnier, the guy who posted the videos, &quot;Monsterflake&quot; is alive and well and building some wild, wild cars in St. Louis to this day. Visit &quot;Creative Customs&quot; sometime and meet one of the craziest and most talented guys on the planet.

Hey Bruce, .... Thanks for the trip back in time! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/BruceRocks.gif[/img]

I was there! I`d rather be &quot;Blown than Injected&quot; I remember it like it was yesterday.... The heat, the short shorts, the long tube sox`s, the skin, the Gear Drives, The Blowers, the Colors.

I had my Chevelle parked on the bottom edge of lake near the shade, boy it was hot! I even had my Chevelle pin-striped there that weekend. I parked next to the White &quot;Blown&quot; 1970 Chevelle in the first video. The second video shows one of my favorite 1970 Buick GS, it was also &quot;Blown&quot; and his plate read &quot;Tuff GS&quot;. These were great days. Bruce this was wonderful of you to post. It`s always great to go back n time.

The other thrill was the mayhem that would take place at the hotels, Burn out after Burn out.....for hours. You could just watch all the smoke from each and every hotel in the area, it was wild!

I remember the red eurosport vr. That was actually the only one that I ever seen in person until last fall I found a 4dr in junkyard with all the special lower panels still in good shape.

Cool, Bruce! Made all the Indy's, but '77. Never got farther south than Springfield, though. Good fun, the Nats!

I had a shirt like that....ordered it from a car magazine in the early 80's. I don't think my mom was too happy about it.

Those were the days. I wonder what has become of those heavy hitters today? Did those cars survive? Where are they NOW?
Anyone know? The &quot;MOF&quot;
