Come on now....Stahls cars were ALWAYS white. Thats Don Grotheer (stick shift) running the Grump for A/S class. Grumpy lost. Stahl didnt make it out to the Winternationals in 66 But did beat up on Jenkins all year and won the next 3 National events. .

Definately Bill Jenkins but not Jere Stahl.....

Stahls car was white.....

They match raced at Island Dragway with their A/S'ers....

Really was no contest...Stahl's Hemi was way stronger and could catch and pass Jenkins even if he got the early lead......

Thanks Tony.....For some reason I was sure Barkely's name was there.....

I have a good memory but there must be to much "stuff" in there after all these years.......

Did John ever set the record and have it printed in ND that way? Maybe I am thinking of a later year.

I think in 1967 we changed to H/SA? just from class break changes of some sort. Car was the same......I have a picture from Indy 1966 and I/SA is on the door....This stuff is just to long ago!

We sold it in '68 and our car was owned by Joe Scott for a while after that...

The "No Neutral Drops" sign was from Indy in 1967. That was the first event they were outlawed. Mancini's Zoom-O car wasn't built/raced until 1969. It was a Race Hemi with a steel front end. One year only "paper" car. the transmission let go while he was doing a burnout/dry hop.
