I remember being there the day a 62 White GP called the White Tornado was DQ'ed for having 1.65 rocker arms after winng F/S one to many times on a 303 HP engine. ....LOL. I should mention Joe Perzan's kicking 60 SD wagon that led the Div. one points for awile back then. Great BB/S runs between Max Sterlings 61 SD (a real one) and the 61 390/401 HP blue Ford called Thunder Road from Greenbelt Md. I dont remember his name though. Most of us drove our cars to the track. only the "PROs" had a trailer. Some flat towed. It was a lot more FUN back then than today. Somebody PLEASE invent a time machine !!!

Terry-------That would be Norbert Holtzel ( White Tornado ) Alexandria Va. First one was totaled somehow but don't remember now. Second one was built from a total loss purchased from Bendall Pontiac where I worked at the time along with Frank Canaday. Drove it once at Summerduck-----Yes Summerduck dragway remington Va. was pretty fast for that time. That car was sold and he bought the ex baby blue 61 SD catalina sw. from Frank who got it from Mike Miatico and it became the Tornado Wagon. -------Whew! -------Billy-------Let me know when you finish that machine, I would like to be transported back before I became such a grumpy a##hole. 10 years of anger management has helped some though .--------Danny
