I know a little about what you're looking for if I can recall correctly...I was a kid fresh out of high school then...and went to Englishtown for the first time in 1971, to the WCS event in May, (on Sunday), and to the Summernationals in July, (on Saturday). The points race was rained out during elims in the afternoon, and they returned the following Sunday to finish. We came back the next weekend also... All eliminators EXCEPT Super Stock....they were "booked" into a NED-1 Association race at York?? that day and couldn't make it up. Not sure of cars in those particular classes you asked about at this points event...but I believe Stock Eliminator was won by Jack Worrell?? in that green convertible Ford...what class was it...a '69 Fairlane convertible with 428 and auto trans?
The Summernationals was hot and sticky...I believe Bobby Warren probably won J/S...This was the race with Dave and Judi Boertmann in the final in Stock...(in Rod Shop cars), and I think he bulbed on the second light (full tree then) to give the win to her...I wasn't there on Sunday for the finals...but bought a drag sound effect record of this event a year or two later...and they had at least the semis, and the finals of each eliminator on it.
