Does anyone remember this car at Thompson in the early 70's?

Bumping this car. Possibly campaigned in Powder Puff.

I grew up in northeast ohio and watched alot of racing at that track in the early 70's. While I do not remember that car I do recognize the class 2DA.
That was in AHRA formula stock.
2= single 4 barrel
D= class
A= auto trans

Very little if any bracket racing then. Everyone who showed up was put in a class and run heads up in your class. If only car you singled for the trophy.

Good information, Jim. Do you have some old buddies that you could share this photo with?
