Mike,
Found the 1968 NHRA Winternationals E/S Class Run-offs.
Both Bill Shrewsberry and Ron Garey cut through the E/S class, like a
'hot knife through butter'.
Both cars were at a minimum, 3/10's quicker than the competition.
Most of the other competitors were running 13.20's.
The 68' 340 Dart started to develop overheating problems, as a result of a blown head gasket in the Class semi-finals.
Up to that time, the Dart had run the quickest E.T. in the class, going into the Class Championship.
In the E/S Class Championship, Ron Garey pulled a slight holeshot,
and ran a 12.90 @ 107.01 MPH, over 'Wild Bill' Shrewsberry in the
Dart, as the 340 could not overcome the engine problem (overheating).
Ron Garey (1968 NHRA Winternationals)
E/S Class Championship.
Opposite lane,,,,you can see the 68' Darts hood.
