Default Don drove Connie's car ???

Yeah, that's what it says !

At this point, I have to believe that those who wrote the captions & edited that article just did not get all the facts straight.

Surely Don didn't drive Connie's car, JUST for the speed record pass. ???

2nd pic is the one the article posted as being the final round, with Don G. in the near lane.

The last 3 pics show the S/S, A/SA, & G/SA winners. Both cars in each pic are Pontiacs. So, I ASSUME that all those finals were All-Pontiac.

One pic shows that a Corvair beat a Pontiac to win class. I was too embarrassed to post it.

"..."67 NHRA Champions" ?
Like Indy honored or crowned "67 NHRA Champions"..."

That makes sense. Like maybe they ran 67 different classes that year.
