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 !

I must have missed it in the article. Where did it say this was the former Truman Fields car?
