Re: A990 Super Stockers
This photo dates to late 1969. We know this because this is the ’65 Plymouth Super Stocker that Arlen Vanke built with one purpose in mind—to smoke the SS/C record, where Bill Jenkins and the Chevy guys were enjoying a cushioned index going toward the 1969 World Finals in Dallas. Since the index was based on the current class record, Akron Arlen put this car together quickly—with some factory help, took it to the last divisional race of the year at National Trail Raceway in Columbus, Ohio, and reset the record in a Sunday evening final-round charge (after missing a chance during the record runs on Saturday). He hammered the number so hard that the ZL1 cars could not even qualify at Dallas the next month. He is seen here at St. Thomas, Ontario, soon after.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
Anyone have any idea what race track this is? Also anybody remember Steve Maurasic or Super Commando? Not sure yet but think this is the 5&50 sometime in late 60's early 70's.
I'm trying to track history of the 65 5&50 between Jack Werst and when Don West(bechtelsville, pa) got it. Ken Montgomery got it from Don.  Thanks!!! |

Re: A990 Super Stockers
Here's a another picture I believe is earlier. Anyone have a idea on the dragstrip or who Johnny White was?

Re: A990 Super Stockers
Too funny Daryl!!!! Noah is now looking at old pics of cars I had or Toli and asking are they faster than Doc Halladays Telstar or Steve Johnson's Pro Stock Bike or Daryl's Dart. I might have to collect some old Top Fueler now just so I can tell him it's the fastest of them all. This would be Noah's choice I bet.
Having fun, Alex
