Indy Highlights
What year was it that John Lingenfelter had a helicopter bring in an engine and what was the underlying story behind it all?

Re: Indy Highlights
John, I have a complete set of National Dragsters from 1969 to present, if you ever need to look for something. I can pull both Indy issues from those years and look. Let me know...

Re: Indy Highlights
Thanks to all. I'd like to get a photo of the Lingenfelter engine swap. Seem to remember seeing that photo somewhere but it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I'm betting 1976 on this one,,,,I was going through my SS&DI collection recently and came across this story. Sorry I'm at work,,or I'd run upstairs and confirm it for you since my mags are at home. Danny Durham

Re: Indy Highlights
I'm also thinking that Glidden ran the longer wheelbase 70' Mustang in 75' as did Dyno and came back the next year with the Monza, which ended up with Lingenfelter. I remember seeing the Monza out here at Seattle after John got it and was amazed at how much Duct Tape was holding the frontend together! It was a rough looking piece at that time. Danny Durham

Re: Indy Highlights
If anyone ever got to look at a car after Bob got done sorting/thrashing one out and "massaging the body panels " you would not beleive how rough they were. Neatness was not his strong point !!!! It is/was all about performance!!! comp 387
