There was a wad of hemi racers who could be seen in and out of the timing tower several times on on Saturday. Shortly after that the change was released. Scott is on the forum as Pvt Parts. His car stayed in Bridges' shop in downtown Nashville most of the time.

Yes Dwight, I remember that pass. That was with the first hand build prototype all roller bearing Nash transmission. And here is the car before I owned it. Some people may remember this guy.

Also keep in mind that under the rules at the time, I could not get to minimum A weight.

Anyone feel free to message me with questions.

Another "Revenge" car from Ronnie Traffanstedt, most would remember the "Revenge" Chevy II wagon that Tucker Parrish drove for several years.

A while back, Jimmy and I sat down and talked about that era for a while. I have forgotten the details, but Jimmy will refresh my memory tomorrow at Bowling Green.

The other famous first generation Stingray from that era was Mike Robinson's F/G 63 Corvette.

JImmy knows where almost all of the cars from that era are or were last known to be. I think most of the Corvettes usually end up with Noel Davis at some point, at least for a while.

I'm pretty sure we were in Memphis that year, but we were running .90 Super classes at the time, the C/SM Camaro had long since been converted to a S/G car, and we had a S/C RED.

[Bob Pagano]

Tom Pauser out of Truppi-Kling ran a 67 coupe in A/SP also, think he was nhra record holder at one point. Not sure but cars in A were also 427-435 cars and not L-88s

[Dwight Southerland]

Bob, most of the '67 cars shown are 427-435 cars, not L88s. Most of the L88s ended up in sporty car go-round races.
