Neil, how can remember all those names? Myron, my buddy says that NHRA ran the sticks and autos separately down to Q and QA, then combined them in the slower classes from SS/R through SS/X. That Hutch car may have been called 'Good 'ol Charlie Brown'.....He also remembers a '55 Chevy in the class sponsored by the US Army, and a couple of guys in NY....Bob Davies and a Bob Mech??? Wanted to know if anyone remembers a guy down South with a '60 Chevy named Lightfoot (not the singer), and a guy with an early Olds named Hear, probably in a lower class....Were the early Olds cars sticks or autos? Sorry I posted here....too many Buds...but here's a real tech question.....Whatever happened to Stroh's beer???
