1969 Indy Nationals,,,Class Winners

[Casey Miles]

I've raced Indy with only a 64 car field, there were 10 cars in F/S back then alone. I'm sure that they wouldn't miss out on any less entries, mater of fact, there may be more.

Casey Miles
248H Stock?

Ray Allen,,,,,,1957 Chevrolet Model #210 Beauville 9 Passenger Wagon,
'The Terrible Tangerine'
283/283HP,,,,,w/Fuel Injection, and a Muncie 4-speed,,,,
K/Stock,,,,,,NHRA National Record Holder,,,E.T.,,,,, 13.14

In 1969, these 1957 Fuel Injected Chevy Wagons were a 'perfect' fit
for K/S (12.50 - 12.99 wt/hp)

My guess on why his Class Winner E.T. was so slow,,,,,,his opponent probably
needed the 'holeshot of the century' to win.
He got the'holeshot',,,,,but left on the 'first light', and 'red-lighted',,,,,,HEE HEE

Casey,
I raced at Indy in Super Stock when only class winner got in. There was 21 SS/LA cars for class.

damn it would be fun to go back, but running off the records would take a few months to even out the new cars when they dropped thier records 2 seconds running heads up in class trying to get into the eliminator... YEEEHAA it would be too much fun... of course i'd be screwed too when bob shaw dropped my record 2 seconds

Sorry the post you refer to is for the Springnationals, I was looking for the Indy winners.


Thanks, Paul. My friend broke his engine in the first round of class (bent valve) against a racer with a broken trans. They were busy and could not remember who won.
