If you can't read that..LOL It says: PREPARED BY Mickey Thompson and Ace Wilson.

Mickey Thompson also drove the car at the Nationals and is here beating the TASCA Ford entry in A/FX.
So Mickey was fielding the Royal Tempest and the Yorktown Blue 1962 Tempest at the same time?

Don,
When ever I've asked Jim Wangers about the '62 Tempest all he would tell me is that Royal sponsored the car and different engineers would drive it.

That's all I can tell you.
