INDY PHOTO THREAD- LeBrun Corvette
 

A friend sent me this photo the other day.It is out of his personal collection and has never been posted on the net before.

As far as I know, this car is the first Stock Eliminator car to run in the tens at an NHRA sanctioned event. (10.96, @ the 1971 Gatornationals) Yes , I know Jim Waldo was the first 8 lb Stocker in the tens later in the decade. This was a 7 lb. car ,on 7" tires. Mark Mazzotta was the driver. Dave Lebrun drove his 69 Camaro B/Stocker that year , and Joe DeLorenzo was the man behind the wheel of the team's C/S Chevelle . (Winner and runner -up, respectively at the 1971 Grandnational/ Molson event)

All three cars were 427/ 425hp equipped.

This pic appears to be in the pits @ Indy (in 1971.)

Let's see some more pics from Indy ,with the year, if possible.....

Mark - I remember an article in SS&DI in 1971 about the Pizzi Bros. '69 Camaro 427 that ran 10.99 at US 30. It was supposedly the first 10 sec. stocker. That was a 7 lb. car on 7" tires. I do not remember if the run was a points meet or not, but the time slip was printed in the article and it seems like it was in the Fall of 1970. LeBrun built the engine for the car and his Corvette was also covered in the same issue. Too bad I sold all my magazines a couple of years back. Freddie Cain has them now and could probably look it up.

Mark, I remember it well, one of the things that hook you and draw you in deeper and remind you about how you became a racer for life.

Re: Tom's photos #2

Had a call from Carl Bennett a few weeks ago. He's looking for his Camaro. The SS/I stick car in the photos.

If anyone has any leads, they can contact me and I'll pass them on.
