I think you could proudly hang that in the '65's side window.
Steve.

It's a B/Stock "class win" jacket from back in the mid 60's.

Back then you didn't win actual money, you got trophies or jackets or some other trinket. As I mentioned earlier, eventually Dad cut a deal with the various track owners that if he won the class they would just let him in free for the next event. That worked out pretty well for a long time.

I thought it was pretty neat, too, that it actually had his name on the front. It shows to me that there was some pre-planning involved (ie, not just a spontaneous presentation).


On the back, it actually says "Go Go Ubly Dragway". But, you probably noticed those "G"s are kind of funny looking. Growing up we always called it the "Lo Lo Ubly Dragway" jacket! LOL!

I think you are right - I predict that jacket will make it's way into a few car shows.
