That was nowhere near the record, though. Even at Mission, the best I recall from that car was 11.98, still not super competitive when we had to handicap off the records. Interestingly, in 1971 to be more competitive, we switched the engine into a 1967 Camaro convertible which fitted at the top of C/S and that car ran 11.92.
Someone must have a copy of National Dragster from that race, I'd sure like to get that issue for my collection, never thought to save all that stuff back in the day...

Grant…Great response, didn't know you were involved that far back. Do you remember "The Fugitive" 68 Camaro? MB.
