1962 NHRA Winternationals D/SA trophy run saw William Trevor in his '57 Buick 364/300 beat Tom Ritchie in his '62 Pontiac GP 389/303. The Buick winning time was 14.21 @ 95.94 MPH. It was a close race all the way to the finish line.
I remember when Garlits first made the West Coast appearance, His wife & kids in their Chrysler Station wagon pushing him off the line at Bakersfield in 1958.
Lowell Listers Crossfire. This car has been restored. There are a lot of unique features that Lowell came up with to get it to run.
