A great YouTube Home Video of Drag City 1977 with some shots of Jim and Cotton's
car as well lots of other great memories.
This was the first Perry Headrick H/MP 6-cylinder drag car.
(Did you know that Gary Isbell built this car and was the first
to cause a sensation with "that 6-cylinder"?)
Jim and/or Cotton bought it from him and the rest, so they say, is HISTORY!

I have some slides somewhere that I took of the
hardtop from the side and showed to Jim.
The car was starting to flex so much when it left the line that there was a gap
at the top of the rubber seal where the door glass meets the back glass.
This was the 3rd NHRA H/MP 2352 car

(The only problem is, they pictured the H/MP car!)
Cotton came within a cat-whisker of winning two classes that day.

Perry, Perry & Headrick - 1977
Junior Perry worked hard on their cars and it was good to see him get some recognition.
Here's a rare site.

The night I met Jim Headrick and Cotton Perry, some of us were warming at a barrel fire at the Brainerd Optimist Drag Strip on cold Saturday night in March, 1976. Harold Williams (who ran Brainerd) introduced me to Jim. We chatted a bit and I asked him where else they raced. He said they went to points meets all over the Southeast. I told him I would like to go to one with them sometime, if they had the room. An hour or so later, Jim walked up to me and asked if I wanted to go to Bradenton Florida. I asked "When?" and he said "As soon as this race is over." I had ridden down with a friend, so I said "Sure!" As soon as the race was over that night, after Midnight, we piled in their 4-door hauler and headed South. It was Jim, Cotton, Junior (Cotton's brother) and me. Jim and Cotton got in the back and went to sleep right away. I sat up and talked with Junior while he drove. Then Cotton took a turn and I talked to him. Then, it was my turn. I didn't last long as I had no one to talk to and I had no sleep. After a bit I was about to nod off and I told them. They teased me about it, but Junior relieved me. Anyway, we arrived in Bradenton around daylight Sunday morning, raced all day, won the race and stopped at a steak house. Junior said: "When we win, the car buys dinner!" After we had eaten I ran for the drivers seat so I could drive first and sleep when it got dark. Cotton and Jr. drove back that night. We got back to Jim's house early that morning and Jim let me borrow his wife's black Chevy (1972?) Impala to drive all the way back to Benton from Ringgold. I got home, took a shower, drove to my record store, TAPE CITY, in Athens, worked all day, drove back to Benton and my mom followed me back to Jim's so I could drop off Jim's car. Glad I was 23 years old. (I didn't have his number and I'm lucky that I remembered how to get back to his house.)
The only time I was around Cotton was traveling to and from races. We weren't close, but Jim and I clicked. (He got me my first deer rifle and I still have it.)
I went to some other points races with them that year. Once several people went and I rode and slept up in the race car up on the hauler. Not comfortable at all, BUT, It was great!! (I told Cotton I had more miles in his car than he did!) lol
I loved talking with Jim on those long drives. (Jim rarely drove.)
I would also visit Jim at home often and we would to runs to machine shops, gun stores and more. We went to Hueytown Alabama a few times and I got to see some NASCAR engines on the DYNO. He started building a 302 small block for me. I was building an E/MP '68 Camaro. He said he wanted to shut-up those who said he could only make a 6-cylinder run. I found 2 small journal short blocks with steel cranks and we took them to Hueytown. (This was long before he started "Race Engine Design".) I never finished the Camaro, but put the engine in an altered car and ran "Econo-Altered" AHRA class at a national event in Bristol. Qualified with a 9.80/137, but lost in the first round.
Jim told me that they had to replace the crankshafts around 30 runs as they would crack due to the high RPMs and the shock the cranks absorbed as a result. I told him I thought it should last because it had 7 rod bearings, but he said it was a cast crank and no one made a forged crank for them. He would buy engines out of UPS trucks to get cranks. I suggested harmonic balancers, but he said it would sling them apart. I asked about aluminum rods to absorb the shock, but he said the bulky aluminum caps wouldn't clear the block or oil pan, but he was going to try to make them fit. He spent hours grinding the block to clear the thicker aluminum rods. He even had to "dimple" the oil pan so the thicker rod caps would clear it. After he did that they could then run a crank full season instead of 6 or 8 runs.
It felt good to have contributed a little to the team.
I remember someone put bb's down the carbs at one points race, but luckily they didn't blow up the motor. (They didn't know it until they tore the engine down and found them embedded in the top of the pistons.) They thought they knew who it was, but couldn't prove anything. After that they started covering the carbs between rounds.
The last points meet of the season was in central Florida. Cotton had run well until someone forgot to put the radiator cap back on after a cool-down. On the "other end" water sprayed out, it spun the tires and he got beat. That put him in a tie for the points championship and they were going to have to run the other guy after the whole race was over. We had to sit on that hot asphalt all day. It was really draining. (Especially after driving all night.) Cotton won the race and the Perry-Headrick team was NHRA points champions for their division.
That was a GREAT YEAR!
I remember how NHRA screwed with them. Each time they won, NHRA got the "pencil" out and changed their (index?) time. NHRA made Modified Production like "dial-in" and I thought it sucked. Used to...... if your national record was a 10:00 for your class and you ran someone who's national record was a 9:00, you got a 1 second head start and whomever got there first...... WON! But, the NHRA had to monkey with stuff and changed the rules. They started the "index" times system that may not have anything to do with the national record. If you won, they penalized you by lowering your "index". If you got to the finish line first, but ran a time that was faster than your index, you lost. (I still hate dial-in/bracket racing.)

<Wondrnurs7@aol.com> -------------------------- (My reply) Hi Mike, Cotton still lives in Ringgold GA. Jim was brilliant. Before a round he would often tell Cotton the
RPM to leave at as well as what RPM to shift at. Thanks for sharing your great memory. Phil Lea http://www.drwebman.com/perry_headrick/ perry & hendrick Cotton PerrySaturday, Cotton Perry & Jim HeadrickThursday,

Perry just misses first two-class win
Reprinted from the May 12, 1978 issue of National DRAGSTER
NHRA CAJUN NATIONALS -- Cotton Perry, the man who won Super Stock and was the semifinalist in Modified at the Gatornationals just six weeks ago, came a little bit closer to accomplishing unprecedented drag racing double as he won Modified Eliminator and finished in the runner-up spot in Super Stock.
Cotton piloted the H/MP '66 Chevy II to a steady series of high 10-second clockings, as he waded his way through six rounds of Modified eliminations, beating Paul Mercure's E/MP '67 Chevy Camaro in the final, 10.87, 120.32 mph to a losing 10.23, 131.38 for Mercure.
It was the fourth runner-up finish for Mercure in five previous final round appearances, with his only victory to date coming at the 1974 Sportsnationals.
Last year's Cajun Nationals runner-up, Steve Bagwell, made it all the way to the Super Stock winner's circle this time by scoring a win over Perry in a wild, double break-out finish. Bagwell, behind the wheel of his SS/BA '65 Dodge, ran a 10.16, 128.20 mph on a 10.17 Index to score the win as Perry's SS/L '66 Chevy II broke out by a bunch, hitting an 11.48 on his own dial-under of 11.54. The losing speed for Perry was 115.23 mph.
For Bagwell, it was a great thrill indeed to win his first ever national event, but it might have been even a more exciting moment for Perry, who would go on to win the Modified final, thus just missing the distinction of being the first man to win two eliminator titles in one event.

“Ringgold Kid” to returns to racing at Cleveland Speedway Saturday night
by Steve Hixson
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- This Saturday night under the lights of the famed Cleveland (TN) Speedway dirt track, the familiar red #P4 will again take to the track, as the 1999 Southern All-Star National Champion Jamie Perry, of Ringgold, GA, makes his return to racing after a three year hiatus from the sport. The "Ringgold Kid", as it seems has been busy with his own kid, that being his four year old son Dylan, has grown quite interested in the family racing business. "He kept asking questions about pictures of the racecars and of the racecars in the shop, so that's lead us back into it." stated Perry from the family's business/garage, the Ringgold Service Center outside of downtown Ringgold. The entire championship crew has resurfaced for the return including car owner
Cotton Perry and crew chief Alan Stroupes.

Reprinted from the March 26, 1976 issue of National DRAGSTER
NHRA GATORNATIONALS --
First-time success stories in the Sportsman ranks included that of Doug Dye (Competition), Cotton Perry (Modified), Anthony Cieri (Super Stock) and Tom Reider (Stock). It was exceptionally sweet victories for these four individuals that added further drama to an already "on the edge of your seat" event. But after all, isn't that what championship drag racing is all about?

Comment - David, I noticed that modified racer, Cotton Perry, was listed as an inductee in the NHRA SOUTHEASTERN DIVISION HALL OF FAME in 1992 on the Georgia Drag Racing web site.
(See Hall of Fame. -- JD)
Here are three pictures I took of him at his home track, Brainerd Optimist Drag Strip. The first two pictures were taken about 1975. This 1963 Chevy II Nova was his first car. The third picture is of the H/MP 1966 Chevy II, which he won the NHRA MODIFIED CHAMPIONSHIP with in 1981.
Cotton Perry, from Ringold, GA., drove a bread truck route during the week. Perry teamed up with engine builder, Jim Headrick, to run one of the dominating cars in NHRA MODIFIED class. The Chevy II was powered by a 301 CU. IN. straight 6 CYL. engine with a Doug Nash 5-speed transmission. The car ran mid 6'S in the 1/8 MI. and mid 10'S in the 1/4 MI.
His biggest win was the US NATIONALS. Cotton also drove the SS/L Chevy II of Jim Danuels to a win in the 1978 GATORNATIONALS. -- Wayne Holland

A red-light by Cotton Perry in the third round was a gift, because Buddy, again, had clutch problems, and wouldn’t have been able to run with Cotton who was driving Brian Browell’s F/D. Buddy’s first three runs netted him a best of 7.78, while Glidden went in the low 7.60’s on his first, three runs of eliminations.

Uncle Cam’s Crane Racers That Made History ~~ This Week: All Those Who Helped! ~~
There have been literally thousands of loyal Crane racers who have been significant winners through the years. This week marks the end of our “Uncle Cam’s Racers…” column. In the weeks to come, we will showcase a specific product in this space, either a brand-new product or we will revisit an important product. Here are a few racers we felt deserved recognition as having contributed to the growth of Crane Cams as the industry’s largest performance cam company. They include: David Smith, Ollie Olsen, Harvey Collins, Bob Hamke, Rod Perry, Rags Carter, Gary Balough, Arlen Vanke, Ron Hassel, Roger Vinci, Bo Laws, Joe Lunati, Virgil Cates, Glen Blakley, John Reed, Hubert Platt, Bill Jenkins, Frank Iaconio, Glen Self, Joe Williamson,
Cotton Perry, Pete Shadinger, Charlie Seabrook, Bob Riffle, Bob Lambeck, Ken Veney, Dale Armstrong, Dick Weinle, Jerry Ault, Pat Dakin, Ralph Ridgeway, Dale Pulde, Dave Boertman, Hoss Ellington, Junior Johnson, Bob Rahilly, and many, many others!
ThrashTruck,
Because of government regulations you find different HP and torque numbers for each of these engines for different years. For example, the 292s were supposedly 170 HP engines up through 1970-71. But in 1972-73, through the rest of the decade the 292 became a 115-120 net HP engine. Given the design of the head and the compression ratio the latter numbers are probably far more accurate.
In the book John M mentioned there is a racing duo (Jim Headrick & Cotton Perry) that built a 292 that puts out over 650 real HP. And I don't believe that engine ran on nitrous. That's way unrealistic for a street engine but it shows you the awesome potential for a low rpm, high torque truck motor.
If you want the most power for your $$$ get the 350. It can easily and inexpensively be built to put out a very reliable 350-400 HP as a hot street engine (the 292 can't). The 350 will always spank a 292, when hopped up with similar performance mods (hot cam, polished/ported heads, valves, ignition, intake, headers, etc.).
When it comes to power production, cubic inches matter (with engines of similar technology). The 350 not only has 58 more cubic inches than the 292, but also has larger valves, a bigger bore, shorter stroke, shorter & lighter crank, and MUCH better and more efficient head design (especially on the intake). The 292s head can be modified with lump ports for better breathing but the cost of the head alone from a professional (such as Sissells, at 1500-1800+) approaches the cost of a complete street/strip 350 such as this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7984270975&category=33615&sspagename=WDVW
But the real issue is that if you want a street/strip 292, then a 350 won't do!

Update on Cotton Perry
4/23/01
I was doing a search for Cotton Perry and came across this site: http://member.aol.com/bear317c/family.htm
I traveled with Cotton and (Jim) Headrick for a season in '76. (We did the South Eastern circuit.) I gave Jim the ideas: 1) to use aluminum rods to make the crank last longer than 6 runs. 2) Fabricate an "Edelbrock" manifold and use Holley's to get $500 each in contingency money.
Jim was killed a few years ago in a traffic accident. (He could really make that 6 cylinder fly.)
I haven't talked with Cotton in years.
I've attached a pic of Cotton off the cover of May 1978 "Super Stock & Drag Illustrated"

We thank Phil for the pic and sharing his memories of good times past. May Jim Rest in Peace...

At the U.S. Nationals in 1978, Allan fell in love with a Super Stock L '66 Chevy II. The car had already been driven by Cotton Perry to a national event win that year. A recognizable Patterson Racing tradition emerged with the purchase of that Chevrolet. Because his family and crew insisted on a lower maintenance exterior than their shiny black Corvette, the Chevy II came back from the paint shop GM stock beige.

Christopher,someone posted last time his name came up that he was doing some roundtrack stuff with his son.His car owner,Jim Headrick passed away but I think Cotton is still kickin.Thanks anyway,Poole
This manual covers 194, 215, 230, 250, 292 passenger car and truck engines.
Everything the engine builder needs to rebuild the Chevy for power on the
street, strip or other racing applications.
However you plan your modification, from mild to wild, you will find
thought-provoking insider information that will help you achieve your horsepower
goals.

cotton perry lives in ringold georgia and last i heard he was driving a comp eliminator dragster for a guy named bryan brawell from canada. i don't know if you will get any good stuff from him because jim headrick built his engines. I used to hang out with him when i was a kid just to see the awsome wheelstands his car did,i wish i could find the old pocket rocket nova, i would buy it just for the sake of having it.last i heard of that car, it was painted black and sat behind cottons gas station heard it sold for 3500 bucks! it is a shame that the perry and headrick nova is not still around today,that car was a true wonder on the strip best i can recall it went 5.80s in the 8th

Hello y'all here inliners...
From reading the Chevrolet Inline Six-Cylinder Power Manual Book from Leo Santucci, I have seen he talked about some Inline Six Cylinder Engine Builders, but I've not heard about Cotton Perry anymore, therefore I'd like to know how can I contact him ? Does anyone know if He's still in Business or his Company's name ? E-mail address or telephone number ? Any input would be very appreciated ! Keep us inline, fellows...
Thank you,

talking about alamo made me think of a dragstrip back home in glencoe alabama
that was called green valley dragway. I used to go to the races with a family
friend named Sonny Ray, a former S/S champion and father in law of David Rampy,
winner of over 60+ national events. I was 14 at the time. There was a man named
Mr. Billy Parker who had a corvette gasser for sale and a guy wanted to buy it,
but wanted to drive it before he bought it. Mr Parker told the guy if he had
cash he could drive it, because if he crashed it, he owned it. He showed him the
cash and I helped to push the car to the line. After the guy strapped in and Mr.
Parker talked to him he reminded him, "You crash it, you own it, remember that"
.As we got ready to watch the pass, Cotton Perry, who owned and drove the wicked
6 cylinder Chevy Nova "Honest Charlies Pocket Rocket" joined us on the line and
stood beside me and said, "this guys fixin to bust his a--.Well the lite turned
green and off the vette went and when he hit 3rd gear it started to walking and
then he lost it. The vette went into a series of barrell rolls and finally
stopped down track with fiberglass scattered everywhere. When we all got to the
car, the first words out of Mr.Parkers mouth were, "it's yours now, pay up". To
this day I always wonder what the guys family said when he came home and told
them he bought a drag car and they ran outside to see it and saw what was left
of a car

Greg,
I dearly love the inline six Greg. Cotton Perry used to run the old
Pocket Rocket H/MP Chevy II around here. The old six has always been a
favorite of mine. There were a couple of other nice strong six cylinder cars
around here as well.

"............ The Pattersons started out as grass roots racers: local Midwest AHRA drag strips, late Saturday nights, all day Sunday, and sometimes Wednesday nights. Allan worked a forty-hour week in the aircraft industry, tuned the race cars in the garage on week nights, and raced all weekend. He drove a '55 Chevy to AHRA Super Stock World Championships in 1971 and '73. Other racers had started asking Allan to build their engines -- he seemed to have quite a handle on the secrets of drag racing. All through the seventies, Alan's engine-building business in the garage behind his house continued to grow. In 1977, Allan began racing at NHRA sanctioned drag races in the Modified Eliminator categorywith a 1962 Corvette. But without any substantial success at the national level, and with such a high maintenance race car, the Pattersons were forced to make a change. At the U.S. Nationals in 1978, Allan fell in love with a Super Stock L '66 Chevy II. The car had already been driven by Cotton Perry to a national event win that year. ...."
