FIRST LOOK - SCOTT CANNON'S PONTIAC PRO MOD

A little over two decades ago, an obscure bracket racer from Lyman, South Carolina campaigned a stout 1968 Pontiac Firebird within Greer Dragway's Super Pro division. Scotty Cannon was that driver and graduated later into the Pro Modified division, scoring six world championships in his tenure. Cannon graduated to the fuel ranks in 1999 before returning to Pro Modified in 2004.

Scott Cannon, Jr., took over for his father in 2005 as the driver of the team's Torco Race Fuels-sponsored entry. The elder Cannon returns to the fuel ranks in 2007 but not before setting his son up with a slick ride courtesy of Jim Geese and Vanishing Point Race Cars.

It just happens this car looks a lot like his dad's - well, except for the big honkin' supercharger.
