Frank, good to have you on here...and THANK YOU for your service for our
country!

I saw you run at Indy in 1974 with the '55...

Think that York photo here...is '74 or '75...not a big deal...but here's what I
remember...

In '74 and '75...BOTH autos and sticks...ran TOGETHER...in SS/T and SS/U...
Starting in '76..and MAYBE running for a year or 2...they split 'em up...so there
was a SS/TA and SS/UA class for auto cars...and a SS/T and U...for sticks...
Around '78...they adjusted the weight breaks...so SS/T became SS/O...and "U"
became "P"...and so on for autos...

Willing to take a shot and say...it's York 1975...because that Class sticker on
windshield might be from Indy....think York ran a National Open...in June?

Maybe Frank remembers if he won class at Indy? I don't...

BTW...Jack Mullins was there (at Indy)...running SS/R?...with a '63 2-dr....the
"famous" wagon didn't arrive until a year or two later....

Yeah, I know..."useless" information....don't blame me!...it's those darn
investigative shows running on TV now....LOL!!!!!!
