Notes: Terry Hedrick HUGE on the side of the car. AKA' Super Shaker.' Hedrick drove Pete Seaton's Super Shaker Corvair in '67 and '68. In 1969, they built a new Chevy II Nova with a Logghe Chassis featuring independent front suspension. Early in the year, Terry bought out Pete and renamed the car Terry Hedrick's Super Shaker. Same orange, black, and white paint scheme. In 1971, Terry changed to the Camaro body shown here. The speed of 228.42 was originally listed, but it seems too fast for 1971. We need confirmation. | In mid-May, Hedrick retired the Chevy powerplant for a 426 Hemi. Terry built his first 426 using cast-off parts donated by Gary Dyer, Don Schumacher, and Pat Minick. The first time out with the Hemi, he ran 202. By the end of May, he was up to 208. On May 2, Hedrick was at Union Grove for its Manufacturers' Meet. He bent a rod on his warm-up pass and was unable to run in eliminations. Early in May, he was in Minnesota for a four-car show. He eased to an 8.00/198.23 win in his first race when Gary Dyer, driving the "Mr. Norm" car, had a small fire on the line and shut off. In his second race, Terry's 7.95/200 lost to Pat Minick's 7.10/213.27 in the "Chi-Town Hustler." The car broke on that pass, and he was unable to make a third run. In mid-month, he ran at Martin, Michigan, for an eleven-car show, but he failed to reach the finals. He did reach the final at Epping, but he finished runner-up to Gene Snow there. He won two of his three races at Aquasco's Ford vs. Chevy Funny Car race. This is where he debuted the Hemi. A 7.46 beat Larry Fullerton's 7.65 in his first race, but Grove's tough Mustang handed him a loss in the second race, where Terry's 7.48/202.70 lost to Tommy's 7.29/202. In his third race, his 8.00/198.72 beat Lew Arrington's "Brutus" at 8.14/199. Martin, Michigan, held an eight-car show over the Memorial Day Weekend where all cars made three runs. Hedrick did not do too well here as he lost all three races to Roger Lindamood, McEwen, and Minick, in that order. Hedrick was back in Minnesota on May 27 for another four-car show. In his first race, his 7.84/181.81 lost to Richard Tharp's 7.16/179 in the "Blue Max. In his second race, he got out the track and onto the sand for a couple of hundred feet before clicking it off to 13.75/157.89 in a loss to Tommy Grove's 7.37/207. In their third race, these two raced again, with Grove's Ford-powered car coming out on top with a 7.56/202 over Hedrick's 7.82/198.67. He was at Bristol on June 20 for the IHRA Springnationals, but he lost early. This car came to an end at Rockingham on September 26 while attempting to qualify for the IHRA US Open. The car caught fire, and his fire bottles failed. Terry received burns to his hands but was otherwise OK. The Hemi-powered Camaro burned to the ground. Terry was the third alternate at NHRA Gainesville (no times reported). |
