Great picture Richard. If you don’t mind me asking a few questions about this car please,

what year pix taken?

make of car and year?

Thanks Richard

The car was a ’36 Chevy body, carburated small block Chevy, built and prepared by Bud Wamsley. I can only guess the picture was taken around 1962-63. I remember the car from Southside Speedway. In that era, to fill out the field, they ran Sportsman and Modified cars together. The Sportsman cars were not really at a disadvantage, as most of the competitors back then had more power than they did tires.
