Hi Steve - please see the following..

65 A990 Race Hemis - Car, Driver, Team

* Mrs Bee’s Hemi - Jim Thornton Never saw where Thornton drove this? I know Bill Stiles did - I understood this was an ex- RC car? Mrs B's Hemi was a Plymouth. They had a '64 Hardtop, and a '65 A990

* Giddy up a go go - Big Ed Seems to be a jumble on Holwick's car and Ed Knezevich? Both were from Ohio and already listed here - to clarify..Mr Ed was Ed Knisovich...Might Quick was Nick Knisovich? Correct. Ed had a Dodge, Nick a Plymouth...both A990 cars

*Smith & Sons, Cartollton, Ohio - Any idea on the driver? Larry 'Doc' Dixon...same guy that drove for the Rod Shop later

* Jerry Maycock - McKay-Swift Dodge Did Maycock drive this? The Mckay-Swift car was Marshall Bell's car..."Bell Boys" -

- my bad....This was an A864 race car and driver - who was Marshall Bell? I know Maycock was tied in with Jim Fiske's '64 High & Mighty Dodge (not to be confused with the Ramchargers), but was unaware of him driving an A864 car either. The High & Mighty car came from Hartley Motors in Fredonia, NY

Thx.

I was at his place once and recall seeing Mopar stuff and pictures.

Also didn't Grumpy Jenkins also run a Hemi in 64?
