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".

Cool, thanks for the pics & info.

This is the first Ive seen and heard that Royal had a 1964 GTO. Any info on the times it posted?? Also the 1965 GTO Royal drag car arent spoken of much either.

Its the 1966 GeeTeeOh GTO's you get more info/read about.

Thanks,
Don
