What a great walk back down memory lane. Didn't have many wins back then, but the memories are still great!!!

Thanks for posting these!

Yes, I ran in the 60's, but it was a Ford in C Modified Stock... The years sure do change things, don't they? Go figure...

Are you related to Bill Shirley that raced for Chrysler back in 64 and 65,
I knew him and was at a dinner with a bunch of Ford and Chrysler guys in Royal Oak, Mich. Bill sat beside Bruce "greasy" Gowland and Lee Iacocca. I was with Don Havers and Gene McCrikkart (sp) from the Hot Rod Shop in Detroit (where they built Doug Nashs' cars) There were a couple other Chrysler guys there but my memory fails me.

The Mopar racer was Bill Shirey (there was no l in his name).

Great story!! My friend Mike Strickler has some great photos from the '62 Nats. Mike is Dave's son and the photos were taken by Dave's father. Here are a few.
