D/Dart in Stock

To Akan Hvizdos (ddartdude),
Regarding Post #12.
Nothing on Ted Spehar/Ralph Costa.
But one thing perplexes me? What was Jon Rasbach doing in
H/SA in 1970. Now I think Lapeer Dragway didn't open until 1968.
To be classified in H/S (11.00 -11.49 wt/hp) that weight factor was
used by NHRA in 69'/70'/71' (3 straight years)
I'm wondering if the NHRA didn't re-rate the HP for the D-Dart to
265HP at that time, giving it an 11.11 stock class factor.
I remember back then, that the NHRA re-rated the 340/275HP to
290HP.
Now I don't think Lapeer was an AHRA sanctioned track. But
Detroit Dragway, where Ted Spehar ran was AHRA-sanctioned.
