No hype necessary
Sept. 18, 1964
Scottsdale, Ariz.
There's a fair amount of incorrect info here, but it was probably a great race. Tomorrow, we'll find out just how great.

Oct. 2, 1964
Thomasville, Ga.
I don't know if the strip's operator, Bill Connell, is the same guy who raced the '63 Z-11 Chevy called "Blue Streak."

"Tension" evolution
June 17, 1964
Kingsport, Tenn.
This dealership sponsored the great Southern racer Shirl Greer.
Included are photos of the evolution of this car, a classic example of what happened to so many cars that were ever-adapted, cut up and otherwise changed to keep up with factory cars. It ran into 1968, when Greer joined the flopper ranks with a Dodge Charger.

Back in gear
June 6, 1964
Frederick, Md.
We'll get into 2014 with another Speed Shifting column, and we'll be in Maryland for a couple of weeks. This state produces the most (and pretty much the best) information from this era.
