The Mountain Motor Pro Stock Association, the fledgling series showcasing factory hot rods, could have written off their Martin, Mich.-based event as a failure when rain washed away their original May date. Little did the promoters know their rescheduled date would be a blessing in disguise.
This weekend’s event, July 9-10, at U.S. 131 Dragway will attract as many as five past world champions who couldn’t attend on the original date due to scheduling conflicts.
Those scheduled to appear include John Montecalvo, Steve Spiess, Brian Gahm, Pete Berner and John Nobile.
