False claims,,,,,,,that they never raced each other....

Ray Allen won the SS/EA Class at the 1970 Indy Nationals...
But, was eliminated in Super/Stock Eliminator.

Glad I took this photo to document the run! This one sure has made the rounds since I first posted it and the shot of Landy's Charger which was owned by Eddie Thomas at the time.

John Hoffman never had a Ck-10, he used a big ice tub and honed by hand and his stuff was fast.
