Quote - Here is Martyn at the strip with a press pool '68 GTO running in the D/Stock Auto class. Note the manufacturer's license plates of the day that start with the letters GM. Martyn noted that the GM lawyers didn't take to kindly to Cars magazine's printing photos of GM cars with their tags at the strip. Remember these were the days of high insurance premiums for high performance cars and all manufacturers were beginning to downplay their roles in drag racing.
