Default Re: 1974 Wcs Points for div1 -7

We're in div 4. That next year('75), we saw some of those guys run.

These pics were all taken at a points race near Jackson, MS.

Dave Botkin drove the little Pinto. R.T. Barrett drove a B/SA Cuda, and in '75, Jack Mullins had switched over to his big Pontiac wagon, which won the Sports Nats & US Nats. He beat Judy Lilly in the US Nats final.

TJ, my girlfriend, had won her first 6 races in a row, in early '75, between 2 different local tracks. Then R.T. showed up at the Forest Hill track, & put her out. But hey, our car was low buck, & it was my 1st Stocker build. His Cuda was a serious Stocker. So, we didn't feel as bad.

We got to know Dave Botkin fairly well, & still talk on a race track FB page.
