I had an interesting conversation with Jere Stahl this week. I had not talked to him since the NHRA World Finals here in Tulsa, 1967? (1968?) he and Bill Stiles used a friends shop when here. We were talking about the old days (whoda thunk it?) When he set his first record with the '56 Chevy wagon (learned he didn't own it) he lowered it from 14.25 to 13.56! Had his first set of headers. I remember the attention that brought. Jere said they had not thought about getting their spot from that. When I started we had flagmen, and got 25' per class, 250' max. My 'wagon got the same 250' A/S throughout D/S. Was usually enough. :-). 7" tires saved my rear against the higher classed cars.
