Jim I called on Knafel Pontiac beginning Oct. 1967 for approx. 3 years during some of the Tin Indian racing days. I knew Arlen Vanke, that drove for Bill, before I started working for Bill K. as I was born and raised in Akron, OH. back then and an avid drag racing fan. Arlen used to call me Arnie Beswick when I walked into his speed shop. Being assigned to the Cleveland Zone office for over 10 years and calling on almost all of the 88 dealers in the zone at one time or another. Later I traveled in the Central Region which included Pontiac, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Charlotte, Atlanta and Jacksonville Zones I then had the opportunity to visit many great Pontiac Dealerships in these Zones. Met some fantastic people and a lot of Pontiac racers both Drag and NASCAR. Brings back some great memories for me also.
