I was in the Army in '66 and bought a new Belair two door sedan, 283, 3 speed. It was Burgandy with Red interior and I immediately put a set of Fenton spoke wheels on it. I later made a stocker out of it and set the O/S record at the '71 Gainesville Divisional at 13.45 or so. The problem was I didn't know until I got my ND a couple of weeks later that Bruce Wilkerson also lowered the record on the same day at Bowling Green and was a couple hundreds faster than me so my "record" never hit ND.
