Jere Stahl in hospice

Dick Butler · 06-06-2016, 06:16 PM

A real important person in the development of Stock and SS from the days many of us were only learning about Drag Racing. Back when attention to minutia in the building of a competitive Jr. Stocker was key. He will be missed. I still have my Stahl Headers in a box. The box and saying which came on the box are another part of history.
Thanks Jere for all you did to further Drag Racing and educate us as we learned.

Prayers for Jere and his family. This has got be a tough time for them. Even though they know the end is coming, it never is easy when it happens. Have they given a time frame for how long Jere has, just curious.

Like others have said, and we all know, Jere was a very BIG part of stock and super stock racing for all these years, especially the 60's and 70's and longer.

God Speed Jere Stahl. Had your sweet sounding headers on my Z11 in mid 60's.

Jere took a great deal of his time to educate and mentor me, for which I owe him a debt that I can never repay. I wish that I was as apt a student as he is a teacher. I hope some day to realize the potential Jere seemed to see in me. Jere has often been pretty hard on me, but I have come to realize that it is because he believes that I was capable of more and better things than I have accomplished. I count myself to be incredibly blessed and fortunate know him and call him friend.

He spent a lot more time on the phone with this "wanna be" that he should have.

May God bless him.

Saddened to learn of this...prayers to Jere, Judy, and Family. I too saw Jere for the first
time with the Street Hemi at a nearby points meet...in the Stock final he was duking it
out with that fellow from Berwyn and his Chevy II...Jere prevailed...

Jere was quite an experimenter and innovator... Many of his ideas
became products...not only with Stahl Headers..but also with early endeavors like
Stahl & Associates...and Stahl/Moroso...most of us...including myself...used these
pieces over the years...His vision of making parts specific for the Class-type racer...
(along with Dick Moroso)...will not be forgotten...

I still have a set of headers he built for me over 25 years ago for my SS car when we both were young men. Still not a speck of rust even though they were just VHT painted. We spent hours on the phone and he couldn't have been nicer or more informative. Jim
