1972 Grandnational S/S was all qualify off the record. If you went under the record, you had to run off it. Fast as you wanted in the final, but it was a new record .

Thanks to everyone for the input. Needed to get my facts straight (or at least kind of) for a future article.

RICH BIEBEL......Dave Boertman's car was a yellow 2-door Biscayne running N/SA. Correct on the engine combo and the engine cost Dave less than $400 dollars to build back then. Yes....a lot of red lights that day. Just some info....not that it really matters today.

Terry B. I think is your name, yes? I have a real good memory but some details get lost....car colors seems to be one. I am almost positive on Bobby Warren's car being brown with a black vinyl top and NO lettering. Some of the other H/Stockers that were there and made good runs......Tom Elk in a Nova like ours, Jack Marks, in an Oldsmobile....I do recall the redlight deal and particularly because we ran out of the T/K stable and I always knew what was going on with Ray and the Chevelle......I was in the stands watching after a bad night of sleeping in my ramp truck near the airport hangers. We were asked to leave the hotel we were staying at in Gettysburg.......we got a little too rowdy and got caught creating quite a fracas.....It was pay the bill and get out or we call the police......Me and my old partner and very good friend still laugh about that one when we get together......

Rich,
Bobby's car had a white or cream colored vinyl top. George Cureton changed it to black after he bought the car.

I belive it was 1974 I went to Gainesville and didn't make the show in super stock because I didn't win class.It so happens that both the winner & runner up in my class(SS/J) were tossed so there was no class winner for the eliminator.
