There was a bunch of Chyrsler engineers there and a bunch of Mopar street hemi entries there. The Corvette pulled away from every Chrysler that he ran and won class. SS/DA was one of the most popular classes back then.

Right after that the Corvette was moved into SS/CA.

Gosh, I wish we could go back to those times. But I guess the new factory entries are where it's at now.
That was Bernie Agaman at the gators in 1976 he broke a half shaft. He was running SS/CA by then that was a fast car.
