I never new Fred / Mercury sponsored a stock car!

Official Opening May 11th

His Father did. Charlie S. and he actually invented the paper air filter in an evening when running on dirt tracks. Smokey and he were arch enemies and had several conflicts.

A few more

I was hanging out with Richard Petty at his house/shop in Level Cross NC a few years ago. He had some cool cars and stuff there.

Having Mercury as a sponsor would certainly benefit my boating hobby! I'd gladly take Ilmor as a sponsor but w/ the Penske ties I'm thinking better chance of getting hit w/ a meteorite or struck by lightening 2x!

It will be interesting to see what happens to Mobil 1 now that Penske Racing secured Shell Penzoil. I told Ilmor they are going to have to send every existing Ilmor Marine Engine owner new oil fill caps since they say to use Mobil 1 as do their owners manuals!

Xtremely cool....especially Cale's #11.....I'll get there one day.....when I get my Chevelle done I'll drive it there...!

:D:cool::D:cool::D:cool:

Sorry Dawn how dare I forget to post one in your honor!

Henry Ford museum couple weeks ago :cool:

Might be on loan as some of the other display pieces are.

Cool stuff Michael... love seeing those old cars.

It will make for a great stop on a trip up north. Is the parking lot large enough for a Tractor trailer or large cat.

Funny you should mention that b/c that was one of the things the other cities that were competing w/ Charlotte to be the HOF home said, where are race fans w/ their motorhomes going to park???

You can drop the big rig here & I'll give you a car to tour around in!

that's it no more shots.....????

Carl ran a four car team in the 50s/60s. He was so successfull it got into his outboard sales so he went back to his core marine business.

Here's a few more at PMT's request!

ask & you'll shall receive

Thanks will let you know, maybe going to V.I.R. the end of Sept.

If you can find a copy of "Iron Fist", it gives a pretty comprehensive picture of Karl Kiekhafer's stock car program. He was the Roger Penske of his day, insisting on preparation, performance and professionalism. His cars absolutely cleaned house for years...

^^^^Jack Ingram's #11 Late Model....very cool:cool:
