I remember Dick Shroyer and the "Shroyer Shaker", Eckerd & Kirk Charger, Dave Conners Camaro rag top,and the Anglia of Stickle & Riffle. I remember the vetts but not the drivers. The 65 Plymouth, 70 Plymouth, Duster and Challenger in 1970 I can't place. Any help??



The Vette's had Gil Kirk's name on them. The 70 Duster was built by Bob Riffle. When they got the Dodge deal in 1971, they reskinned the car as a Demon. Same with Jim Thompson's 70 Cuda - it became a 71 Challenger. In fact the old Cuda body that was cut off still makes an occassional appearance at shows. Try to find my old Mopar Action article, October 91, I think. I interviewed Jim Thompson, Gil Kirk and Butch Leal for the team's complete history. Everything anyone needs to know was in that article. Thanks.
