Fred,
You are correct: With so many tracks and so many racers, Division 1 was THE hotbed. I did not start until roughly 74, and Junior Stock was already going away. Junior Stock was back when you had to have a muffler under the car, not connected to anything! I have some non-Mopar vintage photos as well (L.A.W. Automotive Sedan Deliveries, Corbo's Sunoco's wagon, John Mason's Pontiac, and on and on).
Oh well, time to go make a living.

Jere Stahl started in a 57 Chevy sedan stocker, remember? Before he got into MoPars.
Remember George Cureton's "Tokyo Rose" sedan delivery? One of many, the "Yoo Hoo Too" sponsored by the chocolate drink outfit? The name slips me as to who drove it.
Those cars were everywhere. I wonder what happened to them all? You would think that with the number of them that existed there would still be some around somewhere. I'll have to post some pictures this evening.
Do you guys remember Bruce Larson's Cobra? I think it ran B/SP.
The wedge MoPars.....Al Olster's "One Step Beyond", Doughty's "Tuff Nuts", (I think that is his son that races one in NSS), Carl Schodde's "Steel City Wedge". A lot of those cars were Jenkins prepped, too. Remember Centolanza's RO Hemi Plymouth won the SS Nationals at York in 69?

Gee, how 'bout Kenny Montgomery? Lemme see if I can remember any: Steve was Joe's red and yellow 63 "Tight" or "Tuff Nuts" ? Kenny Lau's 64 Dodge "Lau Raider". Al Corda's steel nosed, ragtop, Max Wedge 64 Plymouth running SS/FA. Ron Reaman's white SS/DA 64 Plymouth (thanks for letting the kid help). I remember at least several dozen more,both Mopars and brand Xer's, but didn't want to dump them all out right here.

You are right! Doughty's car was "Tight Nuts".
Corda wasn't a Division 1 car, though, he was from Wisconsin somewhere. I thought that Dr. Lau was from Michigan, though I could be wrong.
Remember Tritak & Morgan? The wagon was unbeatable, and they later had a 64 wedge hardtop that ran pretty well, too. They also had the Super Stock Magazine Hemi Cuda SS/DA, and I think they were division champs in that car, as well.
I've heard the wagon is still around the east coast somewhere, but I have not seen it for a long time. I don't know where the hardtop or the Cuda is. Someone told me not too long ago that Pete Tritak wants nothing to do with drag racing....he won't even discuss it. If true, that is sad, he could add so much to these discussions.
Kenny Montgomery is still around and runs on a regular basis. He is at all the Beaver Springs NSS events, and runs the Pittsburgh Chrysler Classic.

Here is Ken Montgomery, recently. The car still flies, and Kenny is a true gentleman. A class act. His son runs a Super Gas Duster.

Steve, I think Al and his wife Jackie lived in Pennsylvania for a brief time. They were regulars at Maple Grove during my teenage pit rat days. The move was job induced, but they were always looking to return to the land of the Big Cheese. Obviously, they did just that! Kenny's Dodge was an old Mancini car, I'm sure that's where the Michigan thing comes from. Steve, we definately grew up in the same parallel universe! Here's some more to stir the discussion key: Norm Fryer's "007" SS/D Camaro Ciccarone Bros SS/D Camaro Bennett & Sirianni SS/I sbc Camaro The "Pink Panther" SS/DA? or EA? 64 Plymouth Vern Rowley's "Mr Speed" 64 Hemi Plymouth 4sp Nate Cohen's "Nazy Crate" T-Bolt Barry Curran's SS/IA "Super Shangri-La" big block Chevelle. VERY pretty car. Dupree-Lupo-Croteu (sp?) 64 Dodge SS/BA Hemi This was the Fairbanks "shop car" Frank Lupo is now Dynamic Converters and has a 70 Hemi Cuda SS/DA-EA. Bob Beckett's SS/OA 350 Olds Cutlass. Root Beer brown with not one decal on it, this thing could have crushed its soft record at anytime. Bob used to flat tow it on the turnpike with a mid sixties 4 dr Ford Galaxie. That's enough for now, I gotta try and find my old snapshots!! RICK
