Default Myrtle Motors Pontiac

Does anyone know if they were a performance oriented dealer ? I recall having read somewhere about a Myrtle Motors sponsored dragrace car.
The 1971 Le Mans Sport 350 we have, came from this dealer.

I remember reading about them in CARS mag way back when.They did a dyno tune and other engine mods to a RA 68 Firebird.The name of Harry Weslch (sp) comes to mind from the article.....

I wish I knew. Seriously. I pulled these pages out of a magazine years ago, and there isn't a magazine name or anything on the pages.
