Not sure who owned it but I raced against it in Xenia, Ohio and Hiner + Miller were wheeling it - I thought
Later they put a four barrel on it and spoiled my dominance in GT-3 in AHRA 1970 - damn NHRA guys - LOL - in GT-3 it was re-panted and not called "Granny Goose" - probably a different car
Of course my memory could be obscured with age - It was a very high winding '69 Camaro - light blue and gray I think - It was "Granny Goose" that much I am sure of - in the 8th miles races of the day it was all about rear end gear 6.14 seems familiar - the flywheel weight varied from 10 lbs to 40 lbs depending on what the "trick of the week" was
Forgive me any errors in memory
It was a NHRA Modified Production car turned AHRA GT-3
