Notes: Won inaugural NE Funny Car Nats. Injected fuel here. Ran on gas as well. AWB tube chassis. Car was probably run early 1967 too. Was "Mystery 9" early in 1966, "Mystery 8" late in 1966. Ran 8.43 at Townsend, MD, per 11/11/66 Drag News. Bill faced Ronnie Sox for a best of three match race at Capitol on October 2. Sox had lots of problems and broke in the first two races. Lawton won with times of 8.87/166.35 and 8.43/167.59. Sox was unable to run the last race, but Lawton decided to run a solo and try to hit 170 mph. I'm sure he was sorry he tried as he scattered his engine all over the track when a rod let go. | We need to sort out the various Mystery x cars and the timeline. BP East Haddam CT 1966 (12/16/66 Drag News)
