'71 Supernationals At OMS

We were there in 1979 and 1980.
In 79 it was a one lane race track. Very few wins in the right lane. track was peeling up bad. We had a bye in the semis and I thought our car was wide enough to straddle the peeling bald spots. So I painstakingly lined Ray (Tex) up. He left went about 50 feet and then idled down the track. We both knew what we needed to know. In the final we ran Jeff Powers with a Cobra Jet Mustang D/SA . We flipped for lanes we won the toss and To Jeff Powers' astonishment picked the right lane. I could read Jeff's mind it was saying these guys just gave me the world championship. He got the spot. about 2 tenths (I think) Tex went by him in first gear. We became world champs
