Dilchman, I question the accuracy of one of the early Pomona results since I didn't see your name winning S/S. Is my memory also steeped in Beringer or what? Lee B.

Lee B.

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, I knew Paul had a win on the west coast and several conquests not related to drag racing!! Thanks for straightening me out. Was that the 265 3-speed on the column car? What a trip!! Lee

Mike, how about that hat the Merc use to wear at Orange Co. Ca. ?

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......

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.

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
