Get the Wayback Machine!

Oct. 24, 1963
Frederick, Md.
An incredible meet -- 70 cars, nine of them Z-11s. And this was when they reran the field for second and third places. I'd love to know more about this one.

Goat vs. Snake

July 19, 1963
Two Southern super stock legends, huge rivals, great showmen, the epitome of "run what you brung." High 10's in 1963? More than gas in the tank? Rules? We don't need no stinkin' rules. Sorry, no results on this one.

More McGinty

Sept. 2, 1963
Wally McGinty was included in a post at the end of April about black racing. He was an interesting guy -- a college basketball player for Wake Forest. He had a '62 409 the previous season, and moved up to a '63 409 -- no Z-11, but likely no slouch, either.

July 3, 1963
This is the first of five posts about this meet. Most of the coverage is about the home-state hero, Wes Koogle of Mansfield, Ohio.
