Although I do read a lot of stuff....you also have to be cautious about "written history" IMO...sometimes there is as much fantasy/hype as fact.Being a writer I'm sure you are well aware of that and sift thru with a skeptical eye. [/ QUOTE ] Yes, I agree. I read a dozen or so articles last night. Some of these were road tests on the GTO -- including the famous GTO vs. Ferrari GTO (where they never actually ran against each other.) All of these articles were loaded with facts and photos. Let me tell you -- Milt Schornack was no "doormat" at Royal. There were dozens and dozens of photos showing him working on Pontiac engines at Royal. These articles included quotes from Dick Jesse and lots of praise for both Schornack and Jim Wangers. You see? This stuff can be alotta fun when you read it without a "slant" or ill-feelings (or outright hatred) for anyone. Unless these major car magazines decided to spend time and a TON of $$ to "stage" a bunch of photos and create a major Royal Pontiac hoax, I would say that Dick Jesse, Jim Wangers, and YES, MILT SCHORNACK, were all major contributors to the Royal legend!   Happy New Year to alL! ~GOAT72

Re: Royal info wanted
