Notes: Real steel AWB '65 Pontiac GTO on a stock frame. 398 (0.30-over 392) Chrysler hemi, GMC 6/71 blower, Hilborn injection, Art Carr 3-speed Torqueflite trans. "Brutus" was also the first ride that made "Jungle Jim" Liberman famous. Arrington built a new Firebird in '67 while Don Williamson of "Hairy Canary" fame ended up with the much-modified GTO. Future fuel altered driver Don Trillo crashed the GTO bad enough to end its racing career. Ran 8.53/168.28 at OCIR Mfg. Meet on 11/25/67. Lew started the season at Irwindale's New Year's race, where he failed to qualify. On April 1, Jim Liberman beat Malcolm Durham at a match race at Capitol, running 8.43/167.28 in the first round. But he lost a motor in the second and watched Durham win with an 8.97. For the third and deciding match, Liberman rolled out his Jungle Jim Nova and won with an 8.75/162.74. At Aquasco on April 30, he had a match race against Hubert Platt. Platt's 8.39/166 won the first round and the match when Lew spun a bearing and was unable to run. On May 13, the old teammates met up for a match race at Maple Grove, where Jim Liberman set the track records at 8.29/172.74, winning the match in one race when Lew's motor blew and he was unable to run. The two met again on May 26 in the final of the UDRA Championships at US 30. Lew ran a best of 8.73 on the way to the final, where his 9.38/154.64 lost to Jim's 9.16/157. On July 1 at Martin, Michigan, Lew lost to Roger Lindamood in the second round. A first-round loss to Roger Woford's 8.37/175.43 to Lew's 8.51/166.66 came at Connecticut on July 4. Lew upset Bill Lawton three straight at Connecticut on August 20 with runs of 8.77/169.49, an 8.55/171 over Lawton's close 8.57/167, and a final 8.51/171. On September 17 at Epping for a Funny Car meet, Lew lost to Dick Loehr's 7.93/179.30 track records in the first round. |
