looking for facts in 1960-63 Dragsters I found that no stock classrecords were keep till 1962,
Which I didn't remember as we ran D/sa in our 59 Pontiac @ Detroit & Toledo + other dragways in 61 & 62. & yes I remember getting or giving the "car spot"
and the 1st two cars to set class records were : A/s Elwin Westbrook from Ontario, calif in a 60 Chevy at 14.06 & 99.88.
The other record set that div in Memphis,Tenn was Roy Dye from Memphis in E/Sa 62 Chevy mph only @ 89.82
At least they were the 1st to be listed in the July 13, 1962 National Dragster.
