Reference the 70/71 Records, I have one little tidbit that reminds us what communication was like in the "old days". I set the O/S record at the Gainesville Div II race in '71 at around 13.45, tore down and was really happy to get the record. What I didn't know was that Bruce Wilkinson set it the same weekend in Bowling Green at 13.41 or so. I got my certificate but it never hit ND which was a big deal back then. I had a 220hp '66 Belair Two door sedan and Bruce was running his '56 wagon at that time.
