Help! Need Pics of 68 US Nationals - 68 RAII Firebird
Fellas -
I know it's a bit of a long shot, but looking for pics of a 68 Ram Air II Firebird raced at the US Nationals in 1968. It was 4 sp car, likely red at the time, but could have been black. Raced by the Frame Brothers, sponsored by Wells Pontiac in Richmond, Indiana. Might have also been raced at Columbus OH in 1968. Here's what I have from the US Nats: #1085 Entry: Frame Bros Pontiac Driver: Dick Frame, Richmond IN Car: 68 Pontiac Also looking for contact info for Truman Fields (also has a 68 RAII 'bird racer) and Mike McKinney (also from Richmond, IN, had a RAII racer, too). Thanks in advance for any info! Scott |

There was a thread about Truman Fields last week look for his engine builder, and I think Bob Rice or Frito has an old photo of the Firebird that you're looking for.

I have some black and whites I shot at Indy 68. I had just spent a year in the Gulf of Tonkin and was on my way to Little Creek, Va. Nice way to spend part of my leave. I will try to dig them up this week.

bulletprof,
I just spoke with Mike McKinney and he remembers the car. As a matter of fact he is is good friends with the Frames. PM me your name and a phone number and he will call you. Frito |

I got Mike's # from another member here, but thanks for the offer. Supposed to speak with him later this evening. Do you have any pictures of the Firebird or know who does? Also, if you're from the area, let me know if you remember a dark green (Peppergreen) 1970 RAIV GTO, M21, 4.33. That's my car; it was sold new at Wells Pontiac and I bought it in Richmond about 5 years ago. Still trying to nail down some of the early owner history. Thanks, Scott |

Two more possibilities: find on ebay, etc. copies of National Dragster; also video CDs of the race may be on ebay.
