Second, Bobcor focused on the Trans Am series. I can't see him towing from Buffalo to Leguan Seca for a National Club Race.
All I can tell you is that, as long as the GTA was legal in B Sedan, it dominated that class. And there are no GTA's listed in the results of the 1969 Runoffs. Perhaps there is some other explanation for that.
I remember when it happened. But at the time, you don't tell yourself, "Hey, you're going to need to remember all of the details about this because it's going to be very important to a bunch of people in 35 years!" You know?

I am positive the results are B Sedan results from that year. I'm out of town right now, but tomorrow when I get back home, I can scan the entry list and results I have at home.
The picture I posted of #25 and #33 battling out is not of our car. Charlie Thieriot had two GTA's at that time. His first GTA (752 557) is in the garage at home and the one you see in the picture (752 609) was crashed and destroyed.
