Thanks Pal I realy could use some help in this research.
I am including a web site that shows one of his cars on the line white camaro. The black car had no letering it was black and he did hold the class record. I have a pic of the race track award certificate however the flash from the camera hid that info. He went 10:50s
I will hopefuly some day get a copy of the award as he did not want to part with the origional.

Pete,
You say, "one of his race cars"., but I don't know if you're talking about the black car or not. (painted white??) You've lost me .
If I'm going to try to help you I need to know the external description of the car back then, the class it ran and the year(s) it ran.

The black car 68 Camaro ran from march of 1968 to about 1970
In march of 1968 an article was written in the Detroit Free Press about this car and the record it set. I am curently trying to get a copy of that article in the automotive section.I think it ran modified production(427 425 hp)
There must be a list of the IHARA records set at the track
for the year 1968. The car was and is a black on black 68
Camaro converted to a 427 by MOtion.Thats all I can provide you with today.I am in the process of getting more info. If you require the name of the Owner I will send it to you in a private email.

Peter,
A lot of record lists for various tracks that were published list class, owner's name, type of car, then ET or mph
The listing could be as obscure as: A/MP, J. Smith, Chevy, 11.39
Do you know if the car had any lettering? The only way for me to find it in either a track record listing or a photo would be by either lettering on the car or the owner's or driver's name in the listing. I can't receive emails here but I can receive PMs here.

By the way, most newspapers saved each copy completely on microfische (sp). I was able to get copies of articles from the Tarrytown (NY) Daily News from June '63.
