Thanks Myron,

I feel fairly certain that the photo in one of the posts is Booth's old 69 Bee. It would be a serious coincidence if there were another green one like that around! If it is the real deal I would restore it back to the way it was raced right down to the very last decal and then head for Barrett-Jackson!

Ed, It doesn't seem to be the same car. I believe his cars all had his name or "Billy the Kid" on them.
Here is a photo I found of his 'Demon:

Speaking of Rossi's Challenger. I remember one year they put him right next to our B/SA car at Indy. As soon as he found out we were pitted next to him he packed up and moved. Tex and I took showers that morning so it could not have been BO.
I wonder why the abrubt move. LOL LOL

I have a question about the purple Cuda of Stewart Pomeroy near the end of the page. Can anyone verify the history and/or the future of that car from the time that picture must have been taken.

I have been told that was an original Hurst/Sox and Martin car, later owned by Pomeroy, then sold to someone in the Ocala, Fl. area.

The first drag race I attended was a bracket race at Gainesville in early 1980, and there was a man named Tom Shively running a Hemi Cuda there at the bracket race, and I was told this was the car.

I know the car that Shively had was sold to someone else in the area then sold to another person in south Fla. and I am told the car was destroyed when the throttle hung open on the car inside of a garage.

Can anyone verify this?

It is the old Shively car.It was also owned by Glenn Warfel,and if I'm right,Tom bought it from Glen.It's a old Sox& Martin A/MP car... IIRC.Tom sold the car to the Welch Brothers and from what I heard,is being restored back to the Sox & Martin timeframe.I don't know about it being involved in an garage accident. I do know it got ladder bars and was re-painted I think in 1981 or 82,

Chris;

From what I have been told the car was purchased from Pomeroy by Caroll Fulford who lives in Ocala, and later Fulford sold it to Shively. Your version may be right though.

Thanks Jason for making the effort to give us some information on these old cars.
