Just got some info on the former Truman Fields '72 SS GTO.

It came from a March '76 H-O Racing Specialties newsletter.

John Corcoran was the owner/driver.

So, it ran 12.20's in 1975. Wonder what the G/S index was ?

Also wonder exactly what the nat records were that it set ?

If anyone can answer either of the above questions, please do so.

I assume the '72 rec was in SS, when Truman was running it. But, I think '72 was the only year he ran it. Don't know if anybody else ran it in SS, or not. :confused

So, the major performance stats for 1975 were:

(1) Two nat records

(2) G/S class win @ the SPORTSnationals

(3) G/S class RU @ the US Nats

The points earned are mostly due to driver skill. But, I'd say it was a pretty good season for car & driver

Here's the '75 Stock records thru June. So, if John held the G/S record, it must have been either before or after June, or both.

But I did notice that Mick Leiferman held the G/SA rec & Charlene Wood held the I/SA record. Looks like Mick was a record holder for 5 years straight.
