Stacy Shields. That may have been one of the "135vin" cars. Depending on location, my long lost friend Tom Ellis may be driving it.

People still tell "Big Stacy" stories around Indy. Good racer.

The track is Pomona, 1969 NHRA Winternationals or possibly the 1970 event.

I don't know about those specific races. I do remember Tom telling me that the national record listed in National Dragster for Stacy Tom was driving on the record pass. Stacy, Tom, and John H.(Humpries?sp?) were the main people involved that I remember. All worked at Indy Ford dealers. Tom lived on west edge of Clermont. Many a time the race car was driven back and forth from the home garage and the south gate at IRP. Lost track of Tom when he moved to Fla? and got into boats I heard. Saw John a few times in late 70's when I would take a vehicle in for warranty service.

Description says photo is from 1969 with a 427 but I thought it was a cool old photo.
