THE LEGENDS WERE HERE

Some of the notable East Coast legends in the sport were in attendance at BSD. They included Kenny Montgomery, Nostalgia Super Stock living legend; York announcer, George Nye and Modified master, Ernie Musser; Pro Mod innovator, Wally Bell; Super Stock champ, Ed Miller; Gasser driver, K.S. Pittman; S&S Race Team Gasser great, Ken Hall; Funny Car and Gasser showman, Freddy Bear; Rocky Pirrone; the man behind the East Coast Gassers, Jack Olcott; the all time Funny Car favorite at the Beaver, Bunny Burkett; and Bobby Harrop of Flying Carpet fame.

Darwin Doll was honored for all his efforts in founding the Nostalgia movement. Doll and Beaver Bob McCardle were the very first to put together the successful formula that has become the York Nostalgia Nationals. They've been friends for over 45 years going back when Beaver Bob raced in stock eliminator with his `67 Comet powered by a 427 in A/Stock.

Bruce Larson has been a favorite of the fans since the 1960's. In fact he won the eliminator title at the very first race Beaver Bob attended in 1962 at Quarter Aces. That very car, Mr. Clean won again in the match race! Larson is partly responsible for the Beaver to be what it is today.
