I'm out here,, SS,, but I'm drawing a blank on this one. I was at Puyallup and S.I.R. (Seattle) during the '68 - '70 era, but I can't recall a Fugitive car. I didn't make it to Mission BC until '74, so I missed out on this Camaro,, sorry, guys.

I have a sheet from 1970

A/S was 11.45 Katic-Keenan-Smith '66 Corvette Atco

I do recall the Mark Mazotta driven car and it was fast.

Dave Lebrun also ran A/S with a Corvette and not sure if that was the same car. 11.40 was what I recall it ran at Island against us at one race.

My partner fouled and both cars were .05 under the records on that run.

That was in 1970 I believe

Maurice...
My buddy's still checking his Drag News collection but so far nothing. I did
happen to notice that Cal Method was the Stock r/u at the '69 Winternationals...

BTW....is this "Fugitive" car still around in one form or another? Have you found any-
more info?

Yes it is still around, fully restored to original (396-375 aluminum head, Blue) rumoured to be in a museum. A friend in the movie industry made contact with one of the original owners on the "Godzilla" movie site. Also have found some race track pit photos and it did run "A/S" in 1969. I am still hunting for information. Hopefully I will run into Cal Method at Mission this weekend. Thank you…Maurice.

Maurice you should check with Walt Cook as he might remember more details on the car. If I remember correctly Maurice Wiebe owned that car in the mid to late 80s and sold it about the time the Ashcroft race track opened. I can not remember who bought it but I worked on it at Ashcroft a couple of times. He then bought another Camaro to race from Rolf N.

I want to "Thank" everyone who has helped me on my quest for information. A lead came to me this morning in a PM, that I followed up on and have made contact with the current owner of "The Fugitive". The car is his favourite of his collection. He is also very interested in the racing history of his Camaro. I let him know about Classracer and he will also review what has been posted. So keep the leads and information coming. Thank you again…Maurice.
