From the registry on the Gas Ronda car

A recent owner of this car purchased it in 1988 from Lloyd Bray and D.G. Gilliam of Bartlesville, Oklahoma. After the 1968 Winternationals, Leo Roy purchased the car for $1.00. Leo drove it to the Division 4 championship in 1970. Lloyd Bray and D. G. Gilliam purchased it in 1971 and over the course of the next 17 years they set the following NHRA national records:

I find it strange that Roger Caster and Leo Roy were both from Austin and had cobra jets reported to be sold to Lloyd Bray.

The championship info is incorrect so maybe that's not all. Could be it was Ronda-Caster-Leo -Bray. Some questions can only be answered by voices that can no longer be heard.

Ken was racing the Cobrastang 1969 until I bought it on the way home from Pomona in 1973.

Yes I know but the cobra jet registry shows Leo Roy won 1970 championship but Ken won it in the 69. Turley owned Ken's 68 then still wondering what became of Caster's 68.

The registry also says the Gas Ronda car may have been bought from ford by Jim Tibbitts who introduced Roger Caster to Grady Bryant.

Proof that caster's car is not the Orlando car.
