Notes: Original Thunderbolt S/S car. Lawton reset the NHRA Super Stock record to 11.60 at Connecticut on September 20. The speed on the run was 126.05. Earlier set 11.69/122.64 National Records at Cecil County 1964. Lawton's Thunderbolt was tearing up the Hemis in October. He beat Al Eckstrand's "Lawman" three straight, and then the following week (October 18), he was at Charlestown Dragway in Rhode Island where he met up with Bill Flynn in the "Highlander" Plymouth. Lawton once again won three straight with a best of 10.9/130.61 (both track records). (It should be noted that match race times involved significant 'super tuning' - the 427 T Bolt S/S times were behind the Race Hemi ETs by the Indy Nationals - Lindamood in a Hemi won Top Stock with an 11.31).
