In the mid 1960s you had AHRA, NHRA and several other sanctioning groups fighting each other. for races and race tracks. Larry Carrier(SP?) started IHRA and Don Garlit and several other pro racers started PDA to get racers paid more for winning in the early 1970s  When I first started racing NHRA in stock class in 1973 we didn't win any money for winning our class at the Winternationals , no contingency money either  Did I mention NHRA back then was really cheap on paying any and all racers  Still the same today I think  NASCAR did the drag racing sponsoring thing for several years and quit I'm sure the crowds down south like longer races than short drag races

Here are a couple pics from a Local track ( "Niagara" closed in '74) with NASCAR sanctioning. Just noticed that two of the cars pic'd have been here in my shop, Gene Schwartz - tires, Kohler Bros for some tin work, looooong after these pics were taken.

Where the heck did that 990 wind up I wonder ? Cool story , and I do get it. My first car was a 1970 Chevelle that I puked the motor and left sitting behind a gas station after taking the cowl induction hood and rally wheels off of it. The significance of a Dodge 990 when it was new wasn't near what it is today. Looking back , you wince. But there was no Barrett Jackson to guide us.
