When I got to the track I slapped on some number decals and made a few half-assed mods. (Removed the hub caps and air filter housing, advanced the timing and rigged the electric fan to operate manually).

The car missed the Y/SA index in time trials by more than a second, but I had some fun and dialed -.01 for the first round against Dave LeBrun. I think he caught me before I even reached half track.

The whole deal was still a lot of fun, and as a bonus, later that year SS&DI did an article on dime-rockets in Stock and ran a picture of the car.
Anyone know which issue exactly? Anyone have a copy?
