Back then, the NHRA was out to protect the 'Junior Stock Classes' for General Motors.
NHRA National Records ..... January 1967
* C/S ......... 12.78
* D/S ......... 12.85
* C/SA ........ 13.11
* D/SA ........ 13.54
You can see why Dave Kempton and Plymouth Racing wanted the 1967 Barracuda
383-S out there at the 1967 NHRA Winternationals classed in D/SA.
If Dave was allowed to run that 67' Barracuda in D/SA, he would have captured the
Stock Championship.
After the NHRA re-factoring in December 1966, the Barracuda was shipped back to
the factory.
Dave never ran it. A few years later he stated that he had it dialed in for 13.30's @ 107 MPH.
