Drag Racing History

I am looking for articles, pictures and/or personal stories related to Robert Gilman. He was killed at the Como Drag Strip in Pickton, Texas on June 10, 1967. According to the newspaper article he was an AHRA 3 time Champion. He raced from Texas to California between 1957 and 1967.Any info. would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Anyone Remember AHRA 3 Time Champ, Robert Gilman????

Drag Racing History

I have been told he raced in Texas, Oklahoma, and California so far. Will post more as my research continues. I believe one of the Hot Rod magazines used to post race winners in their issues and I would guess it would be between 1962'ish to 1967, but can't afford to purchase so many back issues that I might be able to find.
