I'm probably mistaken about the Ford dragster. We all looked rather incredulous when the announcer said Cotton was driving a Ford, but like I said, I didn't get to talk to him that year. We were over in the SS pits with Jimmy Bridges and Alan Oakley. Oakley had just bought the Maranian Brothers' SS/DA Camaro.
I actually pitted for Brian Browell once at Memphis. Tom Polk and I were wandering around in the pits and Brian grabbed both of us and hung aprons on us. He was running a V6 at the time. Small world. Polk bought Brian's backup car that next year.
Speaking again of the "Pocket Rocket". I have a good friend who says he knows where the car is. I'll probably be seeing him tomorrow. I know now that Cotton was recently looking for it, so I'll see if I can nail down it's location.
