John Martin's main competition at M.I.S. in April 1969 was the popular driver Dick Lang who had a Chevrolet dealership in Ohio and drove a 1968 Camaro Z-28 with his favorite number 85.
Here you can see how the infield of the speedway was still being prepared after a harsh winter and the Trans Am race was just a few weeks away.
Dick Lang allowed his friend , Mark Donohue, do a few laps in his Camaro to get accustomed to the track that went from speedway to the infield at very awkward angles, before the upcoming opening race of the 1969 Trans Am series.

A nice family tribute to Dick Lang who passed away in 2010.
