69 Camaro

I think it’s Jim Sinsel’s “Farmer” from MD. He raced most of the div 1 PS circuit races in 1971. Mike

Dino, yes that’s definately the guy. I found a b&w picture of the car in an old national dragster but my scanner apparently is not compatible with my new computer. Ain’t that always the way? Mike

hi Nikke,
I’ll try to get the scanner going again when I get home today. It’s a b&w pic of the same car with a caption saying it’s Jim Sinsel. What exactly do you hope to find out about the car? When NHRA PS started in 1970, Sinsel and Gene Mooneyham raced a ’68 Camaro (427) at some points meets, some open PS races at smaller events and lots of hired in appearances at PS shows all over the VA-MD-DE-PA-NJ-NY area. That car was called “D-Con Duster”. In 1971, the ’68 wasn’t legal anymore and they switched to that 1969 Camaro. I’m not sure Mooneyham was still involved with the car in 1971. He drove at many of the races in 1970 but Sinsel drove all the 1971 events as far as I know. Same deal in 1971, mostly circuit races. I’m not sure either car ever raced at any national events in either NHRA or AHRA. Both cars were reasonably competitive for the time. I think the ’69 ran some 10.0’s. Mike
