As far as I know Russ jumped straight into the Nitro burning Daimler Hemi rail. Tony Anderson ran it before him and it was Tony who started out with a V6 slingshot in '69.....

First of all sorry for bringing back such a old thread but very interesting reading bits of the site, if I have counted right there has only ever been 9 People that have got straight to nitro?
Amazing site guys by the way :D

Smax ran some kind of modified car over at York for many years before going into fuel

Just out of curiousity did Tony Andersons v6 slingshot race later on in the 1980s? Where did it end up?
