I was told the Stock and Runner Up at Englishtow were disqualified !!

John, I was at both of these races running S/S, to the best of my memory Stock was not contested.

Great site.Great records.
Lots of familiar names, some that have been doing this a long time!
Even found myself a few times.

Me too FJ. I remember all the times Merc and I used to stop by your shop when we went home from Montreal and other races in Canada.

I think I even remember Victoria was still in a stroller in those days! I can still picture you with your Camaro Super Mod car like it was yesterday!

According to the headlines in the July 28, 1972 issue of ND, "Stock Eliminated at Teardown".

Guess my memory is not too good.

Jack McCarthy · 10-05-2007, 10:15 AM

Paul, I would probably not have remembered if I had not kept a scrap book, with the Stock results (for the races I ran), in 1972 - 1973 (the first 2 years of Stock). I probably left Englishtown after I lost to Jack Worrell in the 1/4s. It wasn't until I received my ND 2 or 3 weeks later that I saw what had happened.

Jack, sorry but my season ended on that slippery slope at Columbus. Its too soon for me to go wandering around. My world currently consists of the bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and computer room.

Monday I go to see a local orthopedic surgeon. He will check out the work the Ohio surgeon did. That also means a new cast. Hope the new one is more user friendly.

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.
