In answer to the above post: Indy 1968 revealed some of the behind the scene political maneuvering between racers, manufacturers and NHRA. The next year (1969) at Indy Chrysler had a "team meeting" of their contract racers three days prior at Hamilton Ohio now known as "The Chrysler Mini-Nationals" to determine class by performance. Ronnie did NOT take any of this well. NHRA was not amused either. Following the race NHRA was presented a proposal from the Superstock racers to outline a future Pro/Stock eliminator. See Car Craft Nov 1969 and CC 11/68. Also Larry Davis Super Stock book pages 193-194.
