Thanks Dave, If I ever knew it I had forgotten that they ran the Comet in '68 too. Short tracks I guess since they ran the fast back Cyclone on the big tracks. Tiny did good, can't remember hearing him talk that long without a big laugh in there somewhere.

dave that was really cool that was when racing was racing thanks for posting this
