Here’s another couple of pictures from the Petersen Archives, just catching the Tony Pizzi Z/28 in the bottom right and left corners respectively. They were taken at the first Annual NHRA Gatornationals in 1970 at Gainsville Raceway in Florida. Car was running in G/S.

And this one is of a Tony Pizzi-prepared Z/28 also running in G/S at the 1970 NHRA Winternationals at Pomona. Credited to the Petersen/TEN archives.
Wonder if it’s yet another different Pizzi car? Has a different paint scheme as well as a cowl hood.

Great pic. Just look at the crowds back in those days. Drag racing attendance has really changed. Just nice to see all these vintages pictures. Tony Pizzi Z-28 was a force on the strip.

The rally green car with Weed on the quarters is featured in a nice article in a 1972 Super Stock and DI magazine. It had a 396/375 motor in it at the time.

The car did better in B/S trim then it did with the 302 motor if I remember correctly. Tony went into the 10's with the L78 motor in B/Stick. Really fast back then.
