Fred Gibb Race cars

[menmyfcs]

Does anyone out there know when Fred Gibb quit running his stable of AHRA race cars? Am I correct assuming that the dealership closed in 84?

I think Oct of 71 after winning the campionship. Kim /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

menmyfcs,

Yes, I think Kim is correct, Fred stopped racing after they won the ProStock title in 1971. Herb commented to me in 2001 at the St. Louis track, that he hadn't been in on the track in 30 years-so about 1971 indeed.
