V/PS, set that record on June 12, 1970. I remember it well, because while I was there, where no one could find me, my wife went into labor and delivered our second son. OOPS. Well, my Dad liked the trophy, but didn't appreciate me using his 6 month old car to drag race.
Had to stand on the brakes 5 or 10' before the traps, just to get within the ?.2 sec? bracket. Would have won a bunch of money, had I raced Stock Eliminator that day. I broke the existing Nat'l Record by a full 2 seconds. The day kept getting hotter and the car kept running better. It was a blazing fast
69 Rambler American, with a 199 cu in 6 cyl, with an automatic trans. Fun day. Thanks for the memories. Would've been nice if my name wouldn't have been misspelled, though. Oh well, I know it's me and so do lots of my friends.
