Hi Robbie - thanks for the comment. Some cool trivia about the the #98 sprint car in this picture. When my music started showing up at tracks in Australia last year, I got an email from an Aussie gentleman named Allan Wheeler. Allan told me that he was the owner of my dad's old sprint car. Needless to say, I was blown away.The car was being restored to original by Allan because that car, the Pestana/Lang #98 sprint car,was the first sprint car ever imported to Australia back, I think he said in1972. Apparently it's the sprinter in Aussie racing history that gets the credit for starting the sprint car revolution down under. Pretty cool stuff.
