The first time I saw the 69 ZL-1 was at Beardstown They ran Tommy Johnson Sr, Tommy Had his Green 69 Camaro then. We had a Small Block Tunnel Rammed Rail then. What a piece of Sh&t.

Sam, I wasn't smart enough to know I was watching history being made!! It was just another weekend at the track having fun. Heck I was At E-Town in 91,92 or 93 when Kenny B Broke the 300 mph barrier. Standing with a camera didn't take a picture then. I was also at Topeka when Chuck E broke the 300 in Funny car, again no picture. DUH

The time at topeka John Force had 25,000 up for the first to break the 300 barrier. Force was just before Chuck and sombody on his crew screwed up and they were backed out of staging. Force got out threw his helmet!! And than stood on the line and watched Chuck break the barrier .

Well, You are smart enough to remember all that! I saw Grump run the first 9 second Pro Stock run at Maple Grove. I loved that. The air was perfect that nite. Saw Bob Palmer in Charlie Hills Bad Habit AA/FA Fiat run the first 6 second run in history at the Grove also. WOW, That was unbelievable in the early 70's. That guy was just crazy!
