Hm,,,,, Grumpy,,Lombardo and the boys had the Monza scattered all over the ground, working on that engine swap. It was the second year the Monza appeared at Seattle, as it debuted in '75 . We only saw the Vega here once,,, for a match race in '74,, which Jenkins lost(!),, to local racer "Jungle Gene" McKinney and his low slung '69 Camaro,,, don't remember what Gene ran, but the Vega went 8.55 which wasn't too bad at match race weight in the summer of '74. Yeah,,, the crowd went wild! I recall Jenkins was sporting a beard that year up here in '76.
