That’s an excellent find JayTee. Although I can’t read the small print, Sammy ran a ‘72 Ford Mustang Funny car built by John Buttera before that, but the Miller Duster you have uncovered gave Sammy his first and only NHRA Wally at the inaugural NHRA ‘71 Grandnationals in Canada.
Apparently, the car ran again in season ‘72 but it caught fire at the NHRA Nationals burning Sammy quite badly. Two years later, Sammy returned again with another Mustang but later sold it a few months in to finance his rocket car project after a chance drive with the ‘Pollution Packer’ rocker dragster.

if what I've been told is correct
that stang is the old Chicago Patrol body, driven (amongst many) by Pat Foster and Dale Pulde, was converted back to a normal funny car before being imported to these shores by Keith Bartlett and Stu Vallance, run as the Liquidator, Mike Burt as Iron Horse then War Horse, we ran it as Time Machine 3 and it is now owned by Paul Stubbings and Wendy Baker

And here's what we'll remember Sammy for. The back of his T-shirt says it all really. Achievements galore 
Here’s another scan from John Long of the 1972 ‘Drag Racing USA’ article posted originally by jaytee earlier this week. Its certainly interesting to note just how many nitro Funny Cars Sammy actual ran before moving upwards to rocket power.
