I would have to say that Sox and Grotheer are from 70-71 as they both had different cars in '72 I believe.

Paula Murphy and Bruce Larson may have been a little later.

Post in the race forum. Lots of drag history guru's hang out there.

Somewhere in all my junk I have a pack from the late '80's. No one top shelf in it, but it does have Kenny Delco.

May be if Dean Sox comes on the site in the next days he can share some information about those cards. He has several of them.

I don't have any specific info on them, but I believe there are about 2 dozen or so in the set. My Dad's '72 Demon is on one of them.
