'Recognize Any of These Studebaker Contestants? 'Just returned from the 2008 World of Wheels Car Show at The Indiana State Fairgrounds. Among the interesting items was a room done up in a "1962 Custom Car Show Motorama" theme by the Central Indiana Road Rockets car club. One member had the National Hot Rod Association's National Drags Official Programs displayed from the years 1962, 1963, and 1964, held here at Indianapolis Raceway Park. I asked if I could look at the programs and take some notes. The owner was most conversant and flattered that I wanted to do so, and even offered a pen to go with the note pad I was carrying. There were several states and dealerships represented among the Studebaker entries in the stock classes those three years, so I wondered if anyone on the forum might recognize someone. Here are the car numbers and associated names from those three programs: 1962 Entrants: Car #648: (this one you can probably guess...but if not, see Page 7 of the March 1996 Turning Wheels...or maybe someone will post it! ) Car #918: A Studebaker, no year specified, entered under the name Cyclops by Robert H. Beard of Hanover, Pennsylvania (omigosh, another Bob!). [Gee, I wonder what year and model Studebaker participating in 1962 drag racing would be named Cyclops?] Car #656: A 1953 Studebaker entered by Terry Troutman of Cleveland, Ohio, sponsored by Craddock Studebaker.
