The contrabutions of Milt Schornack to Royal Pontiac are undeniable. Milt was a central figure in preparing,scheduling,managing and driving the famous 'Royal Bobcat' cars for magazine features along with drag strip engineering tests. His name and photos of him were a constant sight in the majority of these magazine tests from that era.Milt was also the driver of the C/S 1966 GTO driven in competion for Royal in 1966.
It is interesting to note that in most reference to Royal Pontiac in general non road test text that Milt was quoted or referenced for his knowledge to Pontiac cars. Milt was the contact person in the 'Royal Racing Team' ad's that appeared in that time frame. Milt also appeared in the November 1968 Car Craft magazine 'All Star Drag Racing Team' selections. He is shown in that photo with the likes of Don Garlits, Bill Jenkins,George Hurst,Dick Landy amongst others. Milt was accepting the 'Stock Sponser' award for Royal Pontiac. That was quite some company to be associated in photo with. I don't believe a 'glorified porter' would have been sent to accept such a prestigous honor for Royal.
I know Milt personally along with Jim Wangers.I consider them both good friends. I don't want to get in to a Schornack/Wangers contriversy on who did what. I can say that I have "NEVER" heard Milt say he was the originator or designer of the 'Royal Bobcat' package. He always acknowledges that his employment started after the fun began.I also have never heard him diminish any others role in Royal or try to grab more attention to what his role was.
Milt has never tried to make an 'illusion' on his brown Ram Air V GTO. He has always stated it was converted by the first owner by 'Royal Automotive' -not- 'Royal Pontiac'.If you look at the photos on Milt's website he shows a photo of the front fender highlighting 'Royal Automotive'.This car does, I believe carry significant historical importance. It was I believe sold through Royal Pontiac and it was converted early in its life to Ram Air V.
Milt has had problems in the past. Who hasn't? Those issues Milt has had to deal with privatly.
I do find it terrible that such an ignorant person would spew their dislike about someone in such a away. It is truely a classless , angry individual that would slander a mans name with out actually being involved in Royal Pontiac during the glory days and to bring third party accusations from the past to an internet public forum.
We are extremly lucky as enthusiasts to have both Milt Schornack -and- Jim Wangers with us today to be able to share there accounts of this fabulous time in Pontiac history.
