Is that a 1958 Studebaker sedan with the bulging LF headlight pod center far right?
We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

1971 was the only year of eleven years (1962-1972) in which he was not winner or runner-up.
His weight class was eliminated for 1972. He was forced to run "up" one class against cars with a more favorable power-to-weight ratio if he wanted to compete in the 1972 National Drags, so he did! The 1972 Nationals, which he did win, was thus his favorite, beating a 283 Chevy station wagon (he doesn't remember if it was a '58 or '59) in the final round with his little 120 HP 232. "By rights" and mathematically, he shouldn't have been able to do that...but it was Ted Harbit, you know. BP
