Notes: Began as Melrose Missile AFX 2% at Pomona 1965 Winternationals driven by Tommy Grove. This was an AeroChem dipped body assembled at Amblewagon. Grove quit to take over a Ford driving job at that race. It was subsequently converted to AWB factory specs, and Melrose's Charlie DiBari hired Cecil Yother as his driver. The car toured nationally with full Plymouth factory sponsorship in 1965. it ran injected by the end of the season. Yother may have taken full or partial ownership when most factory sponsorships were canceled for 1966. The car's top was removed to create a roadster-style body in 1966 and toured nationally through that year. Disposition is believed destroyed, but this is unverified. ET 1965 (12/16/65 Drag News) mph 1965 (12/65 Super Stock & Drag Illustrated) Cecil was at Maple Grove on August 22 for a best-of-five match against Bud Faubel's altered wheelbase Dodge. Yother only needed to make three runs to win as he beat Faubel three straight. Every run Cecil made was a new track record. He started with a 10.13/135.54. In the second race, he improved to 10.08/134.73, and Faubel fouled against him in the third race while Yother grabbed both ends of the record at 10.07/135.95. |

Notes: Cecil was at Aquasco on May 21 for a ten-car show. His 9.87/144.86 advanced when Dick Loehr threw a blower belt in the first round. He had problems in round two and shut down to 11.64 in a loss to Malcolm Durham. We need to confirm that this car ran on nitro. |

Notes: Cecil was at Irwindale on April 28 for an eight-car show. There was no qualifying as pairings were drawn from a hat. Dale Pulde fouled against him in the first round. He faced eventual winner Norm Cowdrey in the semifinal. Unfortunately, Yother had an oil filter explode on his run against Norm, and the car went into a fireball. Cecil brought it to a stop and was ok, but the car was messed up badly. Confirm that this car ran on nitro. 8.45 Lions Drag Strip. |

Notes: Dave started with a 327 and a 3-speed manual shift push, button Torqueflite when he first built the car as a show car. It was not intended for racing, hence the unique chassis design. When Dave started match racing the car, he went to an injected 427 Chevy, which we found to be underpowered, but did manage a couple of 170 mph passes. On the day of the accident at LExington's BlueGrass Dragway (not Lions, as is often quoted), he was running a Keith Black Hemi. It was the first of 3 match races against Sonny Scott of Atlanta. It was only the second run on that motor. Just after crossing the finish line, the car took off like an airplane - straight up - and hit nose first. The injuries killed Dave, resulting from the seat belts and shoulder harness breaking both collar bones and crushing his ribcage and internals. The roll bar was pretty much intact, but Dave suffered a head injury from his helmet hitting the roll bar. On the day before the race, Dave took receipt of a new Logghe Bros. (I think) race chassis. His father asked him to put off the match race with Scott until he changed everything. Unfortunately, the race went on as planned. - Bill Huffman |
