A little off the subject and not Pontiac related, but here is a pic of a Pit Pass circa 1956 at Gainesville Speedway (GA). It's under Lake Lanier now. Also is a pic of my dad's 40 Ford that he drag raced there. He was one of the first in our area to install a SBC in a 40 Ford. These pics are just before he was killed in the car in July of 1956.

Bart- you forgot to put a half-dozen slicks on each side- you expect it to go with only four slicks?!
Steve- back in '62 nobody had yet heard of a "bottom end guy". A few lucky competitors had a "mechanic" with them!
Thanks, Rob, for all the Hill photos.

I have posted this before but to just try to help.I talked to a man that owns the Gator Court motel in Fl. who claims to have one of these tempests.he told me that he had to look for the transaxlein Calif.Also he said he found Vankes' 63 cat on a car lot in Ohio.That he bought back in the 60's. Plausible? maybe possible his family must have had the $ as they owned hotel-hotels?Its just hopeful they still exist.He has storage garages in Fl. and somewhere in the Carolinas' area.I wanted to stop and visit but never took the time and $ to travel.His secretary did allude he had cars stored when I called a second time.Still would ahve liked to been a fly on thewall when those cars were developed or helped with the development.

If your talking about the last pics I posted, the 63 Catalina is George Delorian's SD car, the book I got it from claims it's a "Swiss Cheese" car,but, that's up for debate.the 63 Tempest is the Mickey Thompson SD " Prototype" car , Yorktown Blue, driven by K.S Pittman and Bill Shrewsberry, this car is reported to still exist in a collection down Florida way!

Not really, if you save them to your computer you should be able to enlarge. If necessary I can e-mail them to you and I know you can then save/enlarge.

I have several others but have the same problem. Have to scan them though.
