Trombley's Darlington win was at the 1987 IHRA All Pro Winter Nationals. Unfortunately there were no Sportsman finals shown on the video, and the runner-up isn't mentioned anywhere. I can't locate any photos of the car when it was raced.
Someone (not me) could probably resurrect this car for not a lot of money. It is still classified as a J/K/L/M car with either the 350 or 455 (not the 400 mentioned in the ad), based on the trim level. And John West still has a shop in Raleigh.
