History 1962-63 Chevy 409 wins

Anyone have a complete list of the 409 and 427W Chevy wins at major drag meets in 62 and 63? This is to settle a bet

 

Jenkins/Strickler, Nicholson, Dick Harrell all won major events in those years.

Now that I think about it, some of the wins might have been in 64.

 

Did't Hayden Profitt win it all at Indy in 62 ?

 

bump....someone put up a list awhile back....

 

Here's a thread on the 348/409 forum that lists most of the 348/409 wins from that era.

Dyno Don also won Stock Eliminator at Indy in 61. His car ran in O/SS,optional
super stock. However, he was later disqualified because he had the new GM valve springs that were not yet approved for use.

 

I just bought the remains of the Jack Bayer 1963 Impala Z-11. I’m doing research in advance of a restoration. Looking for pics, documents, artifacts, correspondence , family members, friends, business associates to advance my research. Any help/leads would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance.
