About the only info I've found on the McKinney's is from this article about Truman Fields. I know that Mike later won the US Nats, in Truman's old Stocker.

Didn't know anything about their SS Pontiacs. Anybody have any more info or pics about those cars ?

Found this satement "...Roy McKinney was the VERY first NHRA Super Stocker running in a GT class of Super Stock with a 400 cubic inch engine to run in the nines back in 1997. Roy deserves that mention. He's one very smart NHRA racer. You may remember his 1968 Firebird in the CompCams ad almost straight up at Indy..."

I DO know that Truman ran a '72 GTO in SS/K, for a while. The 2nd pic below says that he set a top speed record. Don't know if that was a track record or an NHRA record, or what. ?
