What a great walk back down memory lane. Didn't have many wins back then, but the memories are still great!!!
Thanks for posting these! David The New Hemi Guy Yes, I ran in the 60's, but it was a Ford in C Modified Stock... The years sure do change things, don't they? Go figure... Last edited by NewHemi; 09-14-2011 at 10:18 PM. |

I knew him and was at a dinner with a bunch of Ford and Chrysler guys in Royal Oak, Mich. Bill sat beside Bruce "greasy" Gowland and Lee Iacocca. I was with Don Havers and Gene McCrikkart (sp) from the Hot Rod Shop in Detroit (where they built Doug Nashs' cars) There were a couple other Chrysler guys there but my memory fails me.

Great story!! My friend Mike Strickler has some great photos from the '62 Nats. Mike is Dave's son and the photos were taken by Dave's father. Here are a few.
