Yuengling still is, it's the country's oldest brewery. Within the past few years they went national as opposed to regional.

Landy got called on it one time by the staging lane director, who thought he was smoking the cigar while staging.
Without saying a word, Dick just turned it around and put the other end in his mouth. After getting the nod from the director he then proceeded to make the run.

Found this on another site...a bunch of great shots, including a few of the Gay's funny car. Be sure to check the cars in the background too, saw a bunch of large Pontiacs in them.

Now that, and a few years before, is true drag racing. Anything after that and I'm just not much interested in.

Uncle Ned had good taste in oval track race cars. Thanks Bill for sharing those oval track pics. Many today forget that Pontiacs were huge back in those days in oval racing and much of their following and reputation was gained by those that liked to drive their Pontiacs in circles.
When I was 14 I remember going to Manzanita Speedway in Phoenix with my uncle in 1967, and the late models ran 3 heats and a feature. Out of those 4 races 3 were won by GTOs, a 65, a 66, and a 67. |

Just picked this mag up for an OHC artical and this Royal Mystery Firebird artical was a BONUS!
I didn't check all the way back, but don't think Ive seen this one before.

Since I started my '63 Catalina project Steve Barcak pulled a couple of old pics from yesteryear. It is pics of the only Altered Wheel Base '63 Cat that I would think is out there. The first is the car looking lke it's ready for competition. The second is the same car but looking like it was stripped and put out to pasture.
![]() ![]() It makes for an interesting contrast. Again thank you Steve for the pictures. Mark L |

Herb Adams delighted in taking on factory teams with his underfunded cars and sometimes beating them. His vision and hard work and fabrication abilities leveled the field pretty well.
