Since I made that last post, I've read that Truman did win @ the Summer Nats, and @ Indy, in his '68 Bird.
BUT, what I read said that he was DQ'd @ both races for tire rule infractions.
Can anybody here verify this ?
If this is true, I'm wondering exactly what the infraction was. Have read that the tires had to be street legal, not softened any, and not shaved down below a certain groove depth.
So, if he was indeed DQ'd for a tire rule infraction, there was obviously something about the tires he ran that didn't pass tech.
Would appreciate any info about this reported DQ.
