I don't recall Ronnie Broadhead winning an eliminator bracket at Pomona but he was the record holder in C/S with the Pontiac for quite a while in the early-to-mid-60s. I also remember him in a newer mid-sized Olds wagon a few years later. Ronnie was from Porterville, CA and that would have made him practically a neighbor of Butch Leal and the Shahans. Famoso (Bakersfield) would have been one of the local tracks for him.

Graham Douglas won stock at the Winternationals once in about 1966 after the controversial events of 1965. Jay Hamilton and Ramon Lowe were around when I started going to the races with Ron Mandella and Dave Kempton in 1963 and they continued to race up to near the end of Junior Stock. The Hudsons prepped by Ike Smith, Keith Berg's Olds, Wiley Cossey, Elwin Westbrook, Jack Davis, and a few others were the most commonly seen stockers around Pomona.
