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.
