Jack Werst,,,

According to Jack,,,,,,,after the Superbird was 'specially treated', it was taken to ATCO (south New Jersey) for testing,,,and ran sub-11.00's,,,,,,well below the 11.51 SS/EA National Record.

It set a track record at ATCO, but what class was not mentioned.
If it was SS/EA, it was not in a 'legal car', as Jack had stated it was
'specially tricked up'.

The photo of the car at ATCO does prove that it was there.

A week later it was brought to Indianapolis.

When the car got to Indy for the 70' Nationals, Jack did state that the word was out,,,,,,,,,and that the Tech Inspectors for the NHRA gave him a terrible time during tech,,,,,,,but the car did pass, and was entered into SS/EA.
