I was right, except backwards (like usual). Dad corrected me.

1969, Vanke bombed the SS/C record, October at the National Dragster National Open in Columbus, by order of Chrysler, to "make Grump run off the tough record".

Jenkins showed up at the World Finals as a SS/CA, and NHRA told Grump "You have to run the class you ran all year".

Ask Doug Duell, he had posted the story a few years ago somewhere, his father was good friends with Vanke. Maybe he can post here and add to/correct anything.
