George Cureton?

John Dianna?

Of course I'm partial to '56 wagons...lol

[Jim Cimarolli]

Has anyone mentioned John Barkley, or the Wheatley Bros.?
Cal Method payed his dues in that era also. It was probably a little after the Jr. Stock days when he used to set the record at just about every points race, switch bodies, change classes etc. to get it done back when they awarded points for setting records.

Wish I could remember the name of the fellow Dianna bought his wagon from. He came through here on the way to Indy, ran Saturday night at OKC, and Sunday here at Tulsa. Dianna came through here and did the same thing the next year after buying that car. I can't remember the guy's name, but he worked he hand packed ice cream. Don't ask how I remember that one. Dianna burred the slider in his slick shifted 3 speed and borrowed a die grinder from a friend of mine who had one at the track.

My fist track-only race car was a nine passenger 225 hp '56 wagon

Neither wagon was nearly as nice as yours.

this is it. I can still remember it before it was painted. It was raced at US 131 Dragway a lot. I don't remember what year it was, I THINK it was the December of 1968 when my big brother and I drove to Muskegon to talk to Dave. I found out Dave was going to Pomona. I told him how much I liked how that small block sounded with the fenderwell headers so we went out in the garage, he hooked up the battery and fired her up. WOW. I was hoping he needed a free crew member at the Winternationals, but was told the ramp truck had bucket seats and there were only two..........
Doug Kahl was a weekly regular at US 131 at the same time. Other favorites are the Monster Mash 55 and anything by Jere Stahl. Chevair (spelling ?) had three or four other drag cars at US 131 every week, including Don Holben's mentor Dick Griffin.

My ride at that time was a low budget 56 wagon 225 horse stocker and then switched to a 65 Impala 327 -250 hp 4 speed that was a fun ride.
