Jack,
Found some stuff on your car at Dover. You said it was the Sox & Martin car (on your thread; "Where's Jack Arnew") you got after the 69' season,
with Sam Pannuty.
I think that car you took the keys to won the 69' SpringNationals,
69' Indy Nationals and 69' World Finals.
The photo's from Dover appear to be from 1970 (possible early in the season), as all the spectators are wearing jackets. Looks a little cold.
Dover Drag Strip got the Division 1 Pro/Stock circuit events for 1970,
but in early 71' lost it's NHRA sanctioning, due to safety issues with
the shut-down area and return road protection. But in 1970, there were
some good S/S ($$$) events. Was it 1970?
