Reid Whisnant Photos

Here are a few links to Reid Whisnant photos. Reid was my favorite for many years and I still love seeing photos of his cars. He left this world much too early. If you have other Reid Whisnant photos, please contact me.

AMA Prostar at SGMP




By Marvin T. Smith

Larry Spiderman McBride leads qualifying at the AMA Prostar event at South Georgia Motorsports Park. There was a light turnout of Top Fuel cycles at the event, but Spiderman showed his dominance by outqualifying the number two rider Tommy Smith by .95 seconds. Spiderman's 6.017 at 229.78 totally outclassed his competitors. McBride found problems in a morning warmup and quickly changed motors. He made a short check out pass in the first qualifying session and shook the tire. The team struggled all afternoon to find a gremlin, but appeared to have it figured out by the second qualifying session. Paul Gast ran a 7.03 187 to lead qualifying in Pro Stock round 1. Eliminations begin at 11:00 on Sunday.
