Jim Hayter ZL1 Race car #

Hey Kim, Is this where they raced Satmary to win the points, or did they race him at Indy? I thought they beat We-Haul at Indy also. Thanks, Sam [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Kim, I have a national dragster with Diamond Racing Engines add. Says Hayter and Gibb win at Fremont with 9.63 142.00 AHRA. Maybe you are right just AHRA. I know for sure Satmary ran NHRA, I used to see him at Englishtown. BTW you and your buddy should bring that B/S nova in to run the Dutch Classics at Maple Grove Raceway in Oct. They have mine shaft conditions there in Oct. Your car might run in the 10.30's. Not crowded, just GREAT racing!

Joe also ran some AHRA tracks because we had him at White Hall a few times with a circuit of SS cars that ran out of the Chicago area. Also pretty sure he ran at the old E. St. Louis track when it was under the direction of Wayne Meinert. That was an AHRA sanctioned strip at the time. Might have run primarily NHRA for points but he definitely frequented AHRA tracks too.

Most of the info. above is correct, however, I do not think Gibb/Hayter ran NHRA in the 71 season. I may be wrong, so don't quote me.

Hayter beat the 70 1/2 car of Satmary, WE-HAUL, even though Satmary got the hole shot. Gibb/Hayter won both the meet and the series, AHRA S/S World Champion on the final run, at Fremont. Hayter ran a 9.697 to Satmary's 9.762. Hayter won the series with 5500 points.

Ken I agee with you about the 71 season but look at the last paragrah on the magazine about Hayter it says he broke at the 71 winter nats ??

I posted this pic a while back in the vintage Camaro pics thread. My father took this pic at Union Grove, WI in July 1969. On the front fender of the car it says ZL-1. See Attachment

I love the old pictures. Kim

Ken, talked to Helen Gibb today and she that they quit racing after that race so Hayter moved on. Also if the Winter Nats held in Jan. of 71 he would have not started driving for Fred until later or that article was written later both time lines would work
