A/S 1967-1972 record history...

Dwight...the car you're mentioning was probably the Janetti-Wood car which ran out of
Tony's shop. Tony I believe, ran a white? '68 Z-28...about that time...in Stock....I think I
saw it once....he had lettered on it "World's quickest Z-28" ...and it probably was....

Dwight/Mark...do you recall that for the 1971 season...NHRA changed the weight
breaks in Stock Elim....I don't remember why...so that each car would run a class
lower than the previous year...A/S would be B/S...B/S would be C/S...etc..(for 1971.)

Want to mention Dave Lebrun here for a second...He was a fixture in A/SA for many
years...as most will remember...but he did "row" a 4-speed for a few years prior...
I saw an old photo of the familiar blue Camaro...and it had A/S on it...(probably from
the '70 season.) He might have had the record for a bit that year. I saw the car run
in '71 several times as a B/S...due to that NHRA mandate....

Mark....was that Mazzotta car a tri-power?

MAURICE....sorry to go on an "East Coast" rant here....Would you mind sharing with
us what you DO know about the "Fugitive" car? I'm interested....have you got any
info recently?

I've got a friend who's checking a "rag-tag" collection of Drag News' from about that
time period...to see if the car is mentioned...Don't have any ND's....anybody????
