It was a bunch, If I'm remembering correctly they enter it as a 1971 model year, not a 1970 Same thing on Landy's 1971 SS/ D car, he was on his way back to his shop after being told his car was not legal due to something on that car that was wrong that I never got the straight scoop, on (I think it was that he had a 1970 T/A Hood on the car and told NHRA that Dodge had ran out of the shaker parts when his car was "built") NHRA finally relented and let him come back the next day and race that weekend, he got beat in the first round of class on Friday BTW, your Dad was and hopefully still is a great man, thanks be to God for people like him Last edited by Cab_Burge; 01/20/24 03:39 AM.
