I'd have to disagree with the statement that GM dumped a pile of money into the 1970 season.

Chevy was only in the T/A game a little bit more than half-heartedly at the best of times from what I've read, and GM's dominance was a mostly 1968-9 affair, and almost entirely due to the drivers and crew, and not from any factory offerings.

Factory backing from GM was poor in comparison to ALL the other manufacturer's, and by the end of 1969, after having given up its winning team, was all over but the crying.

Its too bad, because the 1970 Camaro would have been a much better car to work with than the first gens, and the Trans am series was perhaps the best showcase for high performance cars to be sold at the dealerships had the factories kept the heat on.
