Re: Vintage Colorado S/SS photos
 

Bill,
Those photos really bring back memories! I believe there are only two of the original Pueblo Motorsports Inc. board members still active in drag racing. Jay Gilman, who managed the track for years and is now at US 131, and myself. Whoops, make that 3 board members as I had forgotten Wayne McMurtry.
Looking at the pictures....
Is that Jay Gilman starting?
Did Dalrymple Bros. get that convertible from Don Kennedy?
Notice the stands are full on both sides of the track
How many of those cars had Herman Chapman or Dennis Maurer power plants?
Ron Peters drove for a lot of people!

Keep the photos comin'

Re: Vintage Colorado S/SS photos
 

The last group is Marlin Bogner's '64 Max Wedge wagon, a few shots of Don Hackenberg's '64 SS/EA including one of him chasing Eddie Rezac. I can't say if he caught him (probably not)- Eddie was really hard to catch in those days! Before the '64 Hackenberg raced a Studebaker President with an injected Hemi and the long injectors poking way above the hood. It was called "Taboo"- a really wild car.
I always wanted a set of those Motor-Wheel Flys that Judy and Dennis always ran. One of the best looking wheels of all time. The last one of Judy's burnout of course has Dennis in the white T-shirt keeping an eye on things and what would any Colorado Stock & Superstock race be without Verle Stevens there and that red rag he was NEVER without!
Tomorrow I will have the Bandimere shots.

Rick-
I have a shot of Kennedy's Camaro at Bandimere I will post tomorrow. I don't know if it went to the Dalrymple's. I am sure someone here knows.
Back then if the car ran good it had a Maurer Power sticker or license plate or a Chapman's Racing Engines sticker.
Yes, Peters drove for a lot of people and I tried to get him to drive my bracket car once when he went out 1st round of SS because I couldn't hardly stage my car properly but I was too late- the cooler full of beer was already open.

Re: Vintage Colorado S/SS photos
 

Just hanging out in the staging lanes- Here is one that has nothing to do with Colorado Stock & Superstocks but some of these guys started in Super Stock and they all came to Colorado to race Pro Stock. Some of the young kids I know don't believe that the guy with those LONG sideburns is really Jack Roush but they also never heard of Wayne Gapp.

MR.JIM WEAKLANDS camaro has always been beautiful. (it wasn't very old here)

Don't know if Jay was working at the track then. Wasn't he running a Super Modified Cuda? I worked the starting line for D Zimmerman at the Pueblo points meet in 75 (I think) and Denver in 76, then moved to KC. Still have my PMI officials badge/pin in one of my toolboxes. Stuart Pomeroy showed up at the Pueblo meet which suprised me since both of us were from Division II . If he reads this maybe he'll tell the rest of the story.
Also, wasn't Wayne running a VW back then and if it was Wayne, who was in it with him? Might have been Mike Johnson?

Re: Vintage Colorado S/SS photos
 

Heck Rick,I never knew there were grandstands on the left side of the track!

Drag racings version of Mt. Rushmore. Too bad Wayne is facing the wrong way. Seems like Etta always had that cigarette going. Nice shot, Bill.

Lane....There were originally stands on both sides of track then.

Stewart....Jay was racing, but also working. Not sure if he or Bill Dickey were running the track then. Zimmerman had me working tech & racemaster back then. 2013 was my 40th consecutive year getting a paycheck from NHRA. Wayne had a BB/D front engine dragster in comp. Bill ? (worked for the phone co) had the Volkswagen driven by Ron Schillereff.

Bill...I had heard rumors there were coolers full of beer back then, but was never able to find them....well, not very often. Saw Verle @ Salt Lake this fall and the red rag was still there.

Nullman now lives in Lovelock, NV I believe.

Re: Vintage Colorado S/SS photos
 

The Dalrymple Camaro was sold to a local guy Wayne Colton around 77?.I believe he still has it,it's now red has not ran it since the early 80's.
