In 1963 Don Gay was DQ'ed in A/S for having 2 mufflers 1/2 inch to short in length on the M/T 62 421 SD Pontiac Cat. that used to be Hayden Proffits S/S before his 409 days. The "NORTH WIND" 409 Belair run by Joe Tryson (Grumpy's main shop guy) was runner up but was DQ'ed for having a couple of bumper brackets missing where they were replaced by the towing tabs.
