Thanks, Scott. I could have sworn I posted those but can't seem to find them, so maybe I never did.

Waking this thread up, Jon, or any one else have any info about the April 26th. 1970 Dallas Trans-Am that was cancelled due to rain. In particular any results from practice ? I have some info that states the Under-Two-Litre cars had two practice sessions, and the big cars had one. Follmer and Jones in the Mustangs had the fastest times, followed by Posey in the Challenger. I went through all I've found there isn't very much, due to the race not being run. I do have some scans of the program, ticket stubs etc. I can't get to my Autoweeks from that time at the moment.
Here is a link to some photos from the "Ford" site by Dave Friedman.
