They are probably a few years newer than you remember. I see a Monza and a Mustang II- neither existed in 1973, I'd guess a couple years later 1975-8 era.?

the cars shown are cars that TJ & I both saw race--probably at the cajun nationals in '75-78--she took the pics. the big show that I saw was at amarillo in '73--TJ did not go--i went alone & did not take any pics. we both went back 2 am. in '76 along with some racin buddies. thats when TJ got the pics of the crosswalk & don garlits. an interesting side note here--there were no fuel funnies at am. that year--they boycotted the race for some reason which i don't remember now. after seeing such a good show in '73 & talkin it up 2 the others, we were REAL disappointed after we drove all the way out there & they didn't show! sorry about the confusion-wasn't tryin 2 mislead anyone--just tryin 2 condense a longer post some. anyhow, we saw some great shows back in the day. ps: some items in our srapbooks & records may not be exactly correct--especially dates--& my memory can certainly be fuzzy on some of it. but for sure my 1st national event was '73 at am. & our last 2 attend was the cajuns in either '78 or '79. thats my story & i'm stickin 2 it(til somebody proves me wrong--lol)
