Not sure if it's been mentioned but wasn't Ray the 1970 NHRA Super Stock World Champ...and did he clinch it in that final (against Crutchfield) at Ontario? BTW, that looks like Wenzel's car in the other lane against Charbonneau....

Back in 1970 the only way to be world champ was to win the world finals. It wasnt a points deal like today. The points was for Div. champs and positions 1 thru 10 and being qualified to go to the world finals. If I remeber right at one time they only took the top 5 in each division. Yes...Ray Allen won the race and was the world champ because of his win.......NOT because of his points total.

Terry is correct, if you qualified for the finials you got a certificate with your name scrolled on top and signed by Steve Gibbs and a fee entry to the finials in the mail.
