Looks to be a Sunbeam. I was interested in the class designation on the car.
My first time down a drag strip was in 1966 at Pacific, Mo. Believe it or not, (it's a very long story) the car was a 59 Nash Metropolitan and I had always remembered the class as XF/G. Looks like I was right. Great job on scanning, Wade! I managed to identify IRP and Maple Grove. Was the photo of the Hemi Hoss AFX from Wentzville? |

I think your car was the tip off.! I'll think of the other name on that hemi car sooner or later. I remember it was one that Jim Kirby used to knock heads with back in the day. You have any Dedman & McCormick Pro Stock shots? |

I messed up on those two pictures, guess I need new glasses. Looked close and there is Ball Automotive right there on side of car. They ran that car alot at Union Hill (Music City Raceway) back in the 1970's when I was going down there. J.Gower stock 3058

Mr. Gower,
I know the feeling. My eyes aren't what they use to be but I can spot a 66-67 Chevy II a mile away. By the way, what color was Jimmy's Chevelle before the Bi-centennial paint scheme? Thanks, Bob Rice |

Thanks for posting the pics, Wade. Love the old doorslammers and Pro Stocks. Sorry to say these where before my time.
