You're right about Nascar sanction at Atco.I have a weekly paper from Atco from about 1965 with the Nascar logo at the top of the page.

Ed,
Actually he was my main sponsor. The car ran in a/s at 36 hp but once the cars started running faster than 30 sec. in the 1/4 I had to quit.......too fast for me!
I ran the first set of Casler cheaters on the car. Never won a race, those Oldsmobiles always caught me at the big end, Hell, they would run 45mph.
I was only 50 then.
