Paul, I see you're a real historian of the 60's (and early 70's) factory's top offerings.

I was at the Gator's one year in the early 70's and saw the blue '71 Corvette LS6 (can't believe I can't remember his name) in SS/DA class elim. Also a Truppi-Kling car. There was a bunch of Chyrsler engineers there and a bunch of Mopar street hemi entries there. The Corvette pulled away from every Chrysler that he ran and won class. SS/DA was one of the most popular classes back then.

Right after that the Corvette was moved into SS/CA.

Gosh, I wish we could go back to those times. But I guess the new factory entries are where it's at now.
