985 was the Super Stocker that I bought in November 1969.



I found out at the Old Drag Racer Reunion in Panama City around 2005 that Hubert wrecked the car and Randy had it repaired and raced it a short time.






A few other used it before I bought it.








This how it looked when I got it






Before Pomona 1970



My slicks were worn out and Hubert let me try his.



Later we went to Holman Moody Stroppe with Hubert and mounted the slicks on my rims. Hubert pointed at a guy and said don't let him see you doing this and we were having a hard time mounted the slicks and that guy came over and mounted them for us!!

He went out to eat with Hubert and Connie Kalitta sat across the table from me and told this story. He had one Cessna airplane and would take off put it on auto pilot and than take a nap and was having a hard time getting people to fly with him!!
