Another '66 GTO Stocker
Another Stocker I recently discovered is the Warren Bros '66 GTO. Milt Schornack asked them to join the Royal Pontiac race team.
They kept the car name, "Catnip", & kept the "Warren Bros" lettering, but put Royal Pontiac lettering over the doors.
Haven't been able to find any performance info or racing accomplishments for the car. Assuming they ran pretty good, or Royal wouldn't have recruited them.
The 3rd pic shows the car in the staging lanes, in what appears to be the C/S class run-offs. Assuming it may be @ Indy, but don't know. Would love to know how many C/S Goats were in the lanes, that day.
I've read that back in the old days you had to win class, before you could run in the elims. This was probably in effect at most all the big nat events. Don't know about the small local tracks.
