Mikes Pontiac was WAY faster than my 65 Plymouth. This was a lower class Pontiac that I ran in F/SA class (12.5 lb class in 1965) that was driven by a Don (or Ron) Roister(sp????). Do you remember him? It was a Catalina hard top not a Ventura and had a 389 with a 2 barel carb with a "slim Jim" trans. Same color though with the 8 lug wheels and for the time it was set up with headers, gears, casler slicks, etc. I remember it pretty good because of winning the races against it. Its the only times I remember seeing it. What have you been doing? Im heading over to Tampa Friday for the National Street Rod Assoc. show with my coupe. Ive met a lot of good people at the shows but its not as much fun as racing USED to be. Just less expensive and a lot less work.....LOL.

Yeah, I knew it wasn't Mike, that SD ran C or D/SA if I remember right. You're thinking of Don Royster, he was shop foreman and later service manager for Star Pontiac.---- I've been in anger management off and on for about 10 yrs. and just got off probation and 100 hrs. of community service in July and allowed to leave the state so I'm doing pretty good. I probably have a hundred people I need to appologize for being an a** hole to but I'm working at it.
--- I'm still putting in about 80 hrs. a week and taking care of my Pop who is 88 and living at home. It's just me and him, all the wives are gone and the boys have familys of their own. I have ten grandchildren the oldest 26 youngest 4. I looked you up on the map when I was in Ft. Myers last week and will be back down to Jensen Beach in Nov. --then down to Gainsville in Dec. with Craig's car and meet him there. Maybe we can get together on one of those trips and lie about any and everything. Street rods get together every Tues. night at Sears in Jensen Beach, about 200 of them. I've seen a couple people there from way back . Always look to see if you might be there. ----------- Danny
