There are quite a few pics of the GTO. Does anybody else find it odd that there seems to be no pics or other info about that Bird Stocker that Truman supposedly ran in '72 ?
Would love to have pics of the car, as well as info on races run & times turned. Can anyone here provide any pics or info.
Could it be that he had someone else drive it ?
Since the NHRA rules that year said the Stockers had to be driven to the track, not trailered, do ya'll think that prevented Truman from racing the car at any big races ?
I assume that lots of Stocker guys trailered their car close to the track, then drove it in the gate.
Then, I assume that some of the tracks ignored that rule & let racers tow or trailer their Stockers.
Can any of you older guys shed more light on running a Stocker during the '72 season ?
