Which Bennet was that?

With regard to the Best Mustang S/S All Time, who really ruled the 60's? I know there were a lot of big names that ran the factory CJ's, but who were the drivers/cars that took home the trophies?
Probably Jerry Bennett, he had a 61 Dodge Pioneer wagon called Patches he and your Dad and he and Brian ran together many times at Paducah, Clarksville and Windy Hollow

Let me jump in here; alot of great cars talked about in this post so let me add my list:

-Jeff Lawrence GT/AA 351 Cleveland- I think he's been 8.90's
-Hartley&Saye, Roosevelt and Melvin Revels, Terrance Smith, and now Carrol Morris 71 Ford Mustang SS/I and now SS/IA
-Roosevelt and Melvin Revels 83 Ford Mustang SS/F and GT/B 351 Cleveland- When they built the 83 the GT classes weren't established for sticks so it ran in SS/F

I'm sure Bob Rice has photos of all of these cars.

Maybe the cleanest and well built mustang is Vic and Lois Krolls. Poke your head in and around that one sometime. Mark Buchanan built some neat parts for that car.

On the IHRA side of things Donnie Moore Sr. comes to mind. He had a mustang with instant action on the door. Not sure if this was related to the picture in the earlier post but I think the car was a 68ish 428 CJ, I think SS/FA (but senility is a powerful foe)! If memory serves me well Donnie had a big 1 on the window about 2 decades ago. The car was show quality and Donnie and his wife were awesome people and always present at all IHRA events. Don Jackson

Don,

He still has the car, one of the first bad Super Stock cars I ever saw as a kid. He also has a 428CJ coupe that is equally sharp. His son Donnie Jr. has a super cool rare "R" code car also. If I'm not mistaken the Instant Action car is one the original Carl Holbrook cars, don't quote me on that though. Donnie Jr. can confirm that.

I would like to mention Everet Hill's 64 1/2 mustang "FoMoGo" down here in Div 2. He and his family has raced it for a long time and as always a very tough racer!

Don senior owns "Instant Action" which was Carl Holbrooks. I own the "sister" car which was part of the "Instant Action" race team. Carl owned a lot of Cobra Jets in his time. Chris, his son has "Instant Action" on the front fenders of his 2010 Cobra Jet. He's just carrying on the tradition.

One of the nicest cars around, and people too. Hopefully Jr. will continue to race it. Here is a picture from last year at Darlington in September. See my thread LIVE from Darlington Pro-Am. I think.
