NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

Karl Martel’s A/SA ’69 Camaro is one of the cleanest and most competitive race cars in Stock, and it carried the Dover, Del., resident to his first NHRA national event victory. Martel faced off against Lenny Williams’ Oldsmobile in the final and earned the title with a .015 light and a 10.262 on his 10.24 dial. Martel had a bye run in the semi’s, but he also had to clear a couple of tough hurdles to reach the final round, including wins against past national champions Tex Miller and Lee Zane.
