Mr. Kasch, thanks for posting these. I still have the record certificate from the A/S mph record from September 13, 1969. This was the first race where Tom Stenzel and I took this car. It was the first time it had gone down the track. I made two passes at 11.653 and 11.651, but NHRA said "you didn't break the record, you tied it". I guess we were fortunate to get the speed record. We eventually got a handle on the car and went 11.07@ 124+ the next year, when the new classification put it in B/S. Thanks again for posting some old memories. I wish Tom was still here to enjoy them.
