Division Six National Open - Mission Raceway Park

After a day of testing and a day of qualifying it was time to get down to the business of eliminations on a sunny Sunday afternoon.


Rob Phippen --- Rob Phippen

It looks like a Top Alcohol Dragster, and in fact it was.... 20+ years ago, but now it plys it's trade in the Top Dragster class. Still supercharged and burning methanol, but utilitzing a Powerglide transmission and a Rootes blower instead of current TAD spec equipment. The car is a Bob Meyer chassis, owned and driven by the late Ken Rempel in the early 2000's before moving through a few hands and ending up with ex-Top Alcohol raccer Leo Grocock. He's got his son-in-law Rob Phippen behind the wheel and has seen some success in the 1/8-th mile Top Comp races, as shown by the 4.01 - 177.51 laid down on this pass on a 4-flat dial-in.
