Re: '71 Supernationals At OMS
I raced there in 1970 and qualified 13th but red lighted in the first round. I raced Super Stock from 1970 - 1974 at most of the NHRA nationals and points meets in division 2 and Super Stockers never did water burn outs. I would lock the line lock spin the tires release the line lock than slam the brakes on and do it again as many time as I could before the starting line. No wonder my headers were smashed and I cracked the shock tower. I don't remember very much about the track other than it was a long ride back to Fl. with my dad trying to explain why I redlighted against Jim Hale.
