I knew Sally from school in Hacienda Heights ...didn't realize at the time how much she accomplished in water skiing!
Pretty cool being pulled by Panic Mouse!
My father in law bought a new white 61 Tbird in Hollywood CA and drove it 300K miles, one new 390 engine AND sold it for 5K when he moved back to Cali in 1984... Not baaad...

I am guessing that article was from 1961 like the Cragar ad. That was SS 500 number uno. That was the race that served notice to the East coasters they weren't coming back there to race them anymore because they had kicked their asses 3 years running in the Gold Coast 9hr. in Florida. So if the best of the east wanted to race them best in the country they needed to head to SS. Rudy won that race in a 16ft with a 392 Hemi.
Not sure when the last SS 500 ran, but my guess is 1967. Funny, it lost a lot of lime light after the 1965 race. I know who won 61-65, and no clue who won 66 and 67.
