Jack,
Hempstead wasn't that bad!!! As long as you were travelling about
100 MPH on Hempstead Turnpike, and didn't stop for any traffic lights.
And that was in the afternoon
Jack, found the rest of the story, before you got the S & M Cuda. It was definitely at US30, York in August 69'. Late August, (8/24 or 8/31) after the S/S Magazine Nationals (which were held on 8/10 there).
S/S Magazine held the first so-called Heads-Up Super Stock Pro Meet.
The cars were classed in X/SS. All the biggies were there. Sox & Martin
won over Dick Landy. Cars must have been in match-race trim.
Finally figured out what that little design-scroll was on the front center grille, "426 Hemi".
