Project - NHRA Stock and S/S results 61-69
 

Greetings

This is my first post on Classracer..someone on HAMB recommended I post here.

Im creating a spread sheet of the top Eliminator and stock classes winners of the NHRA titles from 61-68

Compiled from open source material, it'll eventually be posted on my web site. it'll feature hyper links to pics of cars , drivers etc on a web site.

Unfo there are gaps I cant fill in....and I want to make sure my facts are correct....thats where Class Racers comes in.

Could I ask members to review the table below and post any info they may have to fill in gaps?

Lets start with 1961 - NHRA

I appreciate any and all help.

Welcome here Rat Patrol. Good to see new guy here, specially from way down under. Lots of very good & knowledgable guys here ,but what I found is guys visit here on occassion,. so give them time. The person that would of gone one on one with you on this project, Paul Ceasrine, unfortunately passed away recently. He was the most knowledgeable person I knew on stats etc on thi8s stuff. He was instrumental in helping me finding the history on my car, & also turned my thread into prolly the most visited one on the internet today. Well over 1,000,000 visits.

You should also post this up on the Stock and Super Stock topic on here.


Tons of wisdom and memories over there.


Welcome in Rat Patrol !

Thanks for the welcome...and I appreciate the interest and advice

I'm going to have to go over those threads carefully liteweight, I may need somebpic links for my 68 spread sheet.

For what its worth...I started this project because a couple of Chevy guys were talking loud about how Mopar could never beat Jenkins Chevy ii

I got on a mission...and at the same time reminded them about a guy named Jere Stahl. ;)

Anyhow...Im glad they baited me into it :)

Re: Project - NHRA Stock and S/S results 61-68
 

Ah good mate, we have another Mopar dude in the ranks. Your more than welcome to use what you need from my thread. Unfortunately alot of the older pictures are being deleted as time goes on. You may want to also do some searching here

BTW For those not aware Jere Stahl passed a couple weeks back.

Damn that is sad to hear. I know most of these guys had greatvlives doing what they loved - but there's very little said or written when they pass.....
