1970.....The only Nat'l Record my name is on and it took a good part of the year to do it. We had a previous car a couple years earlier and tried setting the record with that one as well but never got it.

For various reasons we were stopped from setting the H/S record at a few races even after running as much as 2+ tenths and 4+ mph better than the existing record.

We were down to the last race of the year for us.
Atco Sept. 1970 and our first run was way slow.....
I had the timing set wrong....

We asked Ray Allen to drive our car since he rarely made any mistakes driving. He ran under by more than a tenth and we backed it up.

Many records set that weekend Including Don Nicholson in Pro Stock at 9.60 and we were the last car torn down and ultimately got the record and it stood until some class break changes put Warren and Register's lower class record in over ours by .02 or .03

We were able to run under that record we set a few times but it was a lot tougher and probably should not have gone that fast.

It seemed easy for many to set records but it was a real struggle for me and my then partner.

I do not even have a copy of that record sheet......I lost it....
