Mr. 4-Speed at the World Finals, Oct 1968. Notice Marv Ripes car in the background. He went on to create A-1 torque converters, a very successful company during the 1970s and '80s.

One of the first NHRA Super Stock wins for Strickler during the 1968 season, Richmond, VA. May 1968. He went on the dominate Super Stock with this car for the rest of the season.

Glad this site appreciates all of the race history that is so important to our hobby.

Here is another famous article from late 1968. Cars Magazine. Stickler and Jenkins did Chevrolet performance seminars throughout the country to promote H/P Camaros.

Because of the stellar season that Strickler had with this Z28 Camaro, is was the most publisized Camaro during the late 1960's. At last count, I have over 35 magazines that published ink on this Z28. Will post more as I have time.

Enjoy,

Jerry
