Ray Allen/Briggs Chevrolet SS454

The first SummerNationals were held at York in 1970. There definately seemed like something was wrong at the tree during the first round of SuperStock eliminator. Every car in the right lane redlighted for a number of pairs. By the time Ray made it to the line in that right lane I think everyone was aware of the issue and I recall seeing racers being pretty late to insure a green light. Ray appeared to be one of those and lost when he clearly should have won with a faster car. It's a long time ago but thats how I remember it. Maybe something else happend but that car was capable of winning any race they ran that year. I was sitting in the stands watching unfortunately as we failed to make the Stock field during that event.......
