Yes,

Dick Landy
* 1964 .... 64' Dodge A/FX
* 1965 .... 65' Dodge Coronet 'AWB' {Injected}
* 1966 .... 66' Dart Funny Car {Long Nose, Injected}

Sox & Martin
* 1964 ... 64' Comet A/FX
* 1965 ... 65' Plymouth Belvedere 'AWB' {Carburetor}
* 1966 ... 66' Barracuda Injected Funny Car

Bill Jenkins
* 1964 ... 64' Dodge A/FX
* 1965 ... 65' Plymouth Belvedere A-990 S/SA

Dover Drag Strip did try to get these guys back at the Track from 1967 thru 1969, but the Track was
'not' NHRA sanctioned and their appearance fee demands were never met.

In July 1967, Dick Landy and Bill Flynn were signed for a best 3-of-5 Match Race Event with their
1967 SS/B Dodge Coronet WO23 Hemi cars, but they opted out for a better deal.

Sox & Martin and Bill Jenkins were penciled in for a 'Dual-Car' Match Race Event in 1969, but it was rained out,
and no back-up date was logged.
* 1969 'Match Race' Barracuda 'Race Hemi' vs. 1968 'Match Race' Camaro 427
* 1968 SS/B Barracuda vs.1969 SS/C Camaro

Dover Drag Strip made numerous announcements from 1969 thru 1973 that Sox & Martin and Bill 'Grumpy' Jenkins
were appearing in the following weeks, but it was not to be.
