Dilchman won the 1971 Supernationals in Stock. Looks like NHRA's records are wrong. Berg & Dilcher were partners on the 55 Chevy and Dilcher was driving. You probably were drinking too much Berringer LOL. Jim

Re: NHRA history in review
I'm not 100% sure on this but I believe the 1972 Summernationals Stock winner was Kenny Koonce in that '66 Impala he had before the Camaro.....I know I have an old Dragster or mag around here to back that up......I'll start looking......

Re: NHRA history in review
I'm pretty sure that Kenny Koonce won in 74 and Kenny Horne was runner-up. I remember this well as my good friend Garley Daniels with his SS/O 66 Chevy II was runner-up to Butch Leal's SS/B 65 Plymouth in Super Stock.

Re: NHRA history in review
Hmmm.Merc wore a lot of wild hats in his day but probably you are thinking of that floppy brimmed white Valvoline hat that was pretty much his trademark in the mid 70's?
I think he still has it somewhere in the shop!LOL MK

Re: NHRA history in review
Whwn I was at the U.S. Nationals in '71, there were a lot of people wearing day-glo orange styrofoam pith helmets that had Honest Charley's logo on them. That was wild...
I wonder why Jeg's doesn't do the same thing, today, with yellow pith helments? They are great protection from the sun, probably cost very little to make/buy, and are a walking advertisement for the provider. I'm sure Honest Charley was giving them away; they were everyehere... Anybody still got one? Anybody on this board that was AT the '71 Nationals???? Bill (who was 33 in '71.)

Re: NHRA history in review
Paul,
I thought those hats were SOOO COOOOL..... Wanted one badly, but never did find out where to get one...Had to resort to spray-canning a regular pith helmet day-glo orange when I got home... It just wasn't the same...
