      I Just saw this. It’s my car (Jim Biron). Actually j/s 69 230 hp then F/S 290 HP 70 (mostly at Lebanon) the finally I/S 250HP for the money. Did run a 12:42 on a 12:83 record only to have the record shot down to 12:20. Never did win when running for the money.
      Lost the car when the garage burned down. here is the last photo I have of it (no drive train)
