Don,
This is Royal's 1964 GeeTeeOoh! Dick Jess and Jim Wangers shared driving "Royal's Tuff LiL".

Since at the end of the 1964 model year Jim Wangers was asked, corrected told, he could no longer officially race Dick went on to do his own cars. Here are Royal Pontiac's high performance salesman Dick Jesse's cars.

Royal only wanted to be known for it stock class race cars. So Dick Jesse was sponsored first by one of Royal Pontic's Race car suppliers/race car mechanic's shops. Clarence Walthers' Highland Park Transmission in Highland Park, MI. Then in 1966 Dick was sponsored by Stan Long Pontiac.

Here is Pete Seaton's '63 Catalina SD 421 sponsored by Ace Wilson's Royal Pontiac. Pete's dad was a General Motors VP. Pete's dad asked Jim Wangers get his son into racing. Pete went onto campaign many Chevrolets known as "Seaton's Shakers".
