Firestone 7 inch slicks were maybe $89 a pair. The win money was UP THERE in comparison to today. Dave Boertman won over $13,000 at Indy in 1970. Whats that in todays money. Some guys made a living to survive running locally when times were tough. Today NHRA rapes you for every nickle and have you asked what some one made this year at a race while running a $100,000 stocker. It was fesable to race back in the day. Its carzy today unless your well off.

Absolutely you can use the picture. Shoot me an email address and I will send the file to you. Heck, I may have the negative for the picture so you can make real reprints if you want. I'll check it out and let you know.
