I remember the car as having dual slicks, if it's the same car. He brought it to the Nats in Indy in '61 and tore up the the starting line in the right lane.

That's the one! That was the year before I started going, but a friend was there and told me they had to shut the race down and repair the track.

The car was later stretched. I'll try to find a picture for our younger members.Last edited by HOTRODPAINT; 10-15-2007 at 08:38 AM.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

They flew a 'copter in to repair the ruts the car made in the lane. One of the weirdest things I ever saw happen at a drag strip.
