Dave Lyall ran a 9.96-second ET with the car in Super Stockrntrim at the AHRA Springnationals in 1969, impressive when you consider slower time was used to win the first-everrnNHRA Pro Stock event a year later. The photo shows Dave racing Bill Jenkins at Bristol. Also ran 133.93 at Bristol in June 1969. Where was the 134.77 run? 10.28 York. Dave ran this car until he wrecked it in '71. AHRA's Super Stock class at the time for a forerunner to Pro Stock. He continued to run this car into '70, as well as another Boss 429 car that he bought from Ford. He paid just $1.00 for each car.

Notes: Lyall worked as a technician at Ford. He ran this Boss 429-powered Mustang that he purchased from Ford for $1.00, and his '69 Mustang updated to '70 specs for '70. He was racing AHRA and NHRA, and the two associations had slightly different rules. NHRA required glass windows and two seats where AHRA did not. So his '69 car was run in AHRA, and the '70 competed at NHRA tracks. He had some help along the way as Wayne Gapp, a neighbor, gave him some advice, and Connie Kalitta, who was running the engine in his Top Fuel car, also donated some parts. Ran at AHRA Grand Nationals at Oklahoma City 1970.
