Gary, I think this is the car that George had a problem with one night. He got a little light headed from some fumes and passed out - right about the time he passedWally Schereron the start / finish line. Drove straight into the turn 1 guard rail. Both front tires were flat / off, and the engine kept right on running. I was in the infield and jumped through the back window 'cause I knew he had a kill switch there. the car stalled out before I got to turn it off. Ol' George used a huge circuit breaker as a kill switch. Funny as heck ! Took Walt Scherer and all of us infiield guys about an hour to fix up the guard rail - new timbers, etc. That was a late night.....

LOL ! That turn 1 and turn 4 guardrails took quite a beating over the years.
Another one of his better looking cars.
Great stuff Steve ! Thanks.
