You should hook up with him and ask to scan and...

Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........

Probably was. Super Stock/D was a very popular class for these cars back in 1969 and 1970. The 10.80 on the window should be the national record at the time. All Stock and Super Stock cars ran off...

Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........

Here's the man himself, Ben Wenzel, B/Stock. Same class as many of the L78 big block cars. This car was one of the badest Z28 Camaros in the land and is still bad to the bone!

Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........

That's as close as I got at a National Event. Three times it's happened. Won two divisional races over the 14 seasons that I campaigned the car.

Anyone who races will tell you that it's not easy!...

Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........

Looks much better than it did. Ben's car did not have spoilers or the stripe. There were 23 copos on the lot when he bought his. I have photos of this car from 1969, I'll have to dig them out. ...
