"...SS/S was a one meet, one year class in 62..."

"one meet" ???

I just looked at '62 in the Larry Davis SS book. According to that book, the SS/S class was run at BOTH the Winter Nats & @ Indy.

Wouldn't that make SS/S at least a "two meet" class ?

Just read that the SS/S class was ONLY for '62 model cars. And they had to be showroom available models.

The '62 model is the only year model that qualifies to run a 421SD engine in Stock Elim. The '63 Swiss Cheese models had to run FX, because so few were made.

Being a Pontiac guy, I'll also mention this. According to the book, Pontiacs swept A/FX, SS/S, SS/SA, S/S, S/SA, & A/SA, @ the '62 Winter Nats !

According to the SS book, Hayden Proffitt drove the A/FX & SS/S cars. Lloyd Cox dove the SS/SA car, Jess Tyree the S/S car, Carol Cox the S/SA car, & Don Bennett the A/SA car.

According to the book, Pontiacs only won 4 of those 6 classes @ Indy '62. Lloyd Cox won A/FX, Bill Sasse won S/S & Bob Harrop was RU, both driving '61 Pontiacs. Carol Cox won S/SA, & Ralph Hardt won A/SA.

Don't wanna forget that a Pontiac powered dragster beat Don Garlits in the dragster final !
