Dyno Don Nicholson-NHRA Mr. Stock Eliminator 1962
Don Nicholson, who won the first of his two consecutive Stock eliminator titles that year, said, "I remember coming back down the return road in front of all those people in the stands after I had won the final. Everybody cheered and whistled from one end to the other. I was making about $100 a week then, and after the Pomona win, we got a call from back east to run a match race for $600. That was the start of my match racing career."
