I remember it well since I was honored to have traveled with Hubert for a couple of months after Indy 1969 and was there for the Super Stock photo shoot.

I helped unload the parts display boards and rolled them into the dealerships. I remember Randy Payne saying if they had a traction problem with the Torino he would just slide the seat back.

Up until last year I had an original Drag Team brochure that came with a patch and a membership card. It opened up and had pics of the rigs and a membership application. I had that and some other lightweight and Ford performance catalogs for over thirty years. Someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse and I let them go.:o Yep, I'm a knucklehead!

There was an excellent book released recently. Full of rare pictures.

I actually have it but haven't read it yet.
