Re: 1968 INDY Nationals,,,Class Winners
 

My dad was B/SA winner, and runner up in the eliminator.

Re: 1968 INDY Nationals,,,Class Winners
 

I found your dad to a great person to know. Im sorry he has passed away. We talked quite a lot about the good old days when I was working with the original NMCA run out of RHS. His wagon....whats left of it....was in Waldo Florida a few years ago. I havent been to Davoraks place is several years to see if it was still there. It was in very sad shape back then but I could still read the "Drag 'N Wag 'N" on the side. He also had what was left of the original "Color Me Gone" 1964 Hemi Dodge that won the 64 Indy Nationals. It was stripped of all of the good parts (Alum.stuff) and had rotted away. Lots of snake skins in both. I could barely read Lindamoods name on it.

Re: 1968 INDY Nationals,,,Class Winners
 

More like 1& 1/2 seconds.

Re: 1968 INDY Nationals,,,Class Winners
 

Were there any more early Max-Wedge's running in those classes, could you dig up some of those racers names and their cars if it's not to much trouble.

Lynda Pleva-Phillips from Toronto, Canada
1967 Ford Galaxie 500 LTD (Fastback)
427/410 HP
wt/hp = 9.59

The 3932 lb. 1967 Ford Galaxie 500 LTD (Fastback) gave it just enough weight with the 427/410 HP,
to get classed on the right side of D/SA.

Re: 1968 INDY Nationals,,,Class Winners
 

Thanks Paul C for searching for that info on those Max-Wedge wagons, but I do have another question...do you think the Drag'n Wag'n is the ex-Lawman wagon, (from the magazine cover) or are they two different cars, anyone.

Re: 1968 INDY Nationals,,,Class Winners

TRUE STORY, that 68 cuda was driven from Burlington NC to Pomona CA in 1968, worked on by Herb McCandless and John Livingston, towed a u haul trailer out there, yes not towed on it but towed a trailer of parts, before it was raced the first time.
