That would be the index for B/SA back then, I'd guess. I'd guess most of the cars in the pictures I'm posting are in the 12's. Pretty much all of them are sporting license plates.

Take a look at the color pic of king rat. It looks like the dial on the pass window says 11.57, and your copyright is 1971. The Black and white pic is 1970, and he has 11.65 on the window. Do you think the index would have gotten slower from 70-71? Not trying to argue with you or anything, im just pointing it out. Also it looks like in the later pics the steelies on the front are mounted on much shorter tires. Maybe he couldnt cut a light with the mags and taller fronts. I would love to know more details about this or any other 70 chevelle drag cars. You dont really see to many besides the famous blue ragtop.

Most have tow-tabs so the plates were probably needed to legally tow them....

Just saying.....
