Ron,

This is the list you asked to be re-posted.

10.00 - 10.49 Wt/Hp = E/S
10.50 - 10.99 Wt/Hp = F/S

As of February 1968;
Class Records
* E/S,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,12.90 @ 107.01 MPH
* E/SA,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,12.93 @ 109.09 MPH

You can take a guess at which cars were the 'best' performers in 1968
off this list.
