In 1974 I think it was, I won a Trenton Qualifier Feature at Flemington.. It was a prefered spot not gauranteed.. I had no ride offers so I hung out with the Cozze Clan..Bobby Pickell ran there car..The car that put the show on was Neal Bonnet in Bobby Allison's full fender Camaro.. He missed first day qualifying so he had to start last in sunday consi...That was a full field back then.. The first lap he pased about 8 or10 cars and went on and won that easy...Started last in Main Feature and was hauling **s toward the front but about 15 or 20 laps it overheated..He ducked into the pits and they opened the hood but I think it was cooked...Never went back out...One hellava small block against all big block field..We had never heard of Neal Bonnet before.. The rest is history...They let him keep the front fenders that day...HtH    Oh Bobby I think finished somewhere 15/17...Needed that small block...
