These photos are of the BB/Gas class final against the Mallicoat Bros. at the 1963 Nationals. Jack won. | |

3 photos from the 64 Nationals. Looks like Jack is racing the Malicoats again. This could be the final as I think he beat them in the final in 64 also. No trophy run stickers on the Windshields though. | |

Who can you ID. I'm afraid I don't recognize too many faces. |

I knew someone would come through.
Thanks to Al Clark for the following:
In the Merkel pictures there are a few I know. Front left is
Eddie Sanzo ( he drove 41 Willys A/GS that was wrecked at this
meet while racing Ohio George, Center with clear lenses is Jack
Merkel, just to the right of Merkel's chin is Joe Black (he drove
A/G Willys with 426 Hemi) Standing over Joe's left shoulder is
Doug Clark (crew member with Joe's Willys.) Doug Clark was my
brother, passed away last year. Hope it helps.

2 photos of the 39 coupe. The top one is one of the first times out with the car. It didn't even have the Halibrands on the front. | |

Jack's last AA/GS car. In my opinion, this is arguably one of the best looking 33 Willys ever...and it was a strong runner too. This car is currently undergoing a full restoration. | |
