In 1977 Sellers got his Valiant done. It was back-halved and now sported a small block 340 backed by a four speed manual transmission.

"I always wanted to go faster and the Dart helped me do that. I bracket raced it for several years and did quit well with it," said Robert.

After countless wins Robert decided it was time to build another car. This time it wasn’t a Mopar. It was a 1983 Triumph TR7 -- that’s right, a Triumph. The powerplant chosen for the TR7 wasn’t a Mopar eight; it was a small block Chevy.

"I built the Triumph but it just wasn’t me. I built it and raced it a few times but didn’t keep it. I only had the car six weeks before I sold it," laughed Sellers.

Sellers gets ready to make yet another low four-second pass in his 58 Plymouth Pro Mod.

At about the same time Robert started his business, Bob Sellers Auto Clinic in Daytona Beach, Florida, that oddly enough specializes in repairing the luxury Jaguar brand sports car. Over the years the Auto Clinic has flourished and is very successful. Robert has now been in business more than thirty years and continues to grow each year.

In 1984 Robert started driving for Maxie Pontius from Orlando, Florida. While driving for Pontius Robert also was tapped by the Gaffney Brothers from South Carolina. The Gaffney Brothers owned two cars. One was a Camaro that Sellers drove and the other one was the Nova that Sonny Tindal made famous. He raced against a lot of the legends from Pro Modified including Ed Hoover, Michael Martin, Blake Wiggins, Scotty Cannon and Tommy Mauney just to mention a few. Robert enjoyed a lot of success driving for both Pontius and the Gaffneys.

After the 1987 season Robert decided to focus on winning a championship. He didn’t drive for the Gaffney Brothers anymore. So to fulfill his dreams he went to Spitzer Enterprises and had Mike Spitzer and his team to build a 1923 T Altered. The only powerplant that Robert would use was a 340 Mopar.

All of his focus paid off in 1988. He won both the Division Two and NHRA Super Comp championships. He didn’t stop there, in 1989 he repeated his Division Two championship again.
