My Dad used to work with Lamar back in the 70's at the Newark Air Force Station. When my Brother Brian and I started bracket racing at National Trail Raceway in 1975 (Brian had a 71 Duster that was set up for E/SA and I had a 66 Nova) Lamar sold me a Rossi converter for my car. His cars were extremely clean and fast for the class. He had a blue and silver 55 4 door SS/PA and a black 56 2 door SS/OA. Very nice guy with tons of knowledge. Talked way over my head. Fierce competitor and passionate about drag racing. He passed away around the age of 35 from some form of leukemia from what I remember.
