Also says that Don Gay was disqualified, @ Indy, for having "non-original-size mufflers". I've posted a pic of him as class winner. So, I don't know if he was later DQ'd, or what. Don't know if the class trophy was taken away from him, or not. Don't really know how to find out exactly what took place at Indy, in '64. Anybody know ? The book says that 9 Stockers were DQ'd.
Wayne Keeling got I/SA RU, in his daily driver '59 Pontiac. One class winner which was mentioned in the 1964 section was Mary Ann Foss. Mary Ann won D/SA & set a new nat record that year. At the time, it is said that she was the only female that held a nat record. She was driving a '58 Pontiac named "Black Magic". For the '64 Nats, the book says that the car had a 370 engine, with Tri-Power, a Jetaway trans, & 3.90 rear gears. Says she won the class, with a holeshot 14.24 ET, over a similar car, raced buy Dixon & Easley. No pic of either car, that I saw, during the '64 season coverage. I have a pic of a Lowe & Easley '58, but not a Dixon & Easley '58. Maybe that car was driven by Larry "Doc" Dixon, who drove some of the Knafel "Tin Indian" cars. Anybody know ?
