Its all there,,,in the December 76' issue of Super Stock and Drag Illustrated magazine. The story was titled "The Upset Nationals". Theres a rare shot of Glidden's Monza in there too. Nice centerfold of Jenkin's Competition with both Monzas in the shop also.

I remember that as well. I was there. I ran a '69 SS/L Camaro with one of Mike Keown's 255 HP 350's at the time.
