no they were different cars Tog, Jim's Le Patron was the ex-Priddle Hot Wheels Fueller from '71 and Steve's Juara was the ex-Skilton 2nd Revolution from '70-'71...

At least my reputation is still intact, as I have not said who I think it is. :lol:

You are just too quick!
Got a feeling that picture may have been used in National Drag Racer magazine.
I remember the massive flame that shot out the side of the block on one burnout in qualifying for the Supernationals.
Someone has some cine film with that on, which might be making an appearance on YouTube before long.
