Harmie, You may be on to something. I remember a Dickie Simpson, but can't remember his car.

Out of the San An area?

There is a Dickie Simpson in Denton and looks to be the dad of Todd Simpson, TA/FC runner. He seems to own a construction company from a Googly search. I hope that helps out.

Thanks James.. you nailed it for me!! Sorry about the faded memories...

Both of Dickie's sons have facebook pages if it helps Byron or Todd Simpson

I've reached out to both Marc. Also left a message on the VM for the race shop. Hopefully the lead pans out.

Thanks a bunch for helping out fellas.

Check Jackie Lewis's post.

Cville Dragway Johnny goodnoh from mulberry ark. Marty drove. This was hemi powered. They later had a volare with a hemi and lenco Trans that held centervilledragway track record for several years. Craig Stevens owns the volare now

.
Cville Dragway This car had those long collector extensions that blew the tire smoke when he did a burnout. I loved to watch him do a burnout

Byron Simpson kindly responded to my query. Seems his dad had a Blue 64 Wedge and an Orange 64 Hemi.

Both cars would be counted out due to the fact that the car in question still retains it's factory Black paint. Hey, but at least a couple more cars are eliminated!

I'm starting to think this car must have been a ghost....

Looks to be a 63.
