Maybe I'm wrong, but weren't wings on the cars for Knoxville in '78?

I remember the one and only WoO race I went to at Eldora in '78, MOST of the cars had wings, but a few did not. I think Roger Rager ran without one among others.

Anybody know for sure?

Nic pic though.

Greg, no wings for three years [1978-1980] that I attended. After the Gary Scott fatal wreck in 1982[?] wings were added.

1981 Last non-wing Nationals,

Anybody know who owned that car? Stapp? Big guess on my part. I have no idea really.

I like the Firestone Drag 500 tires on it.

Hell, almost everyone had hair in them days, me, Dave, Danny, looks like Schrader even! Don't look like a Stapp car to me, might be a Doemelt! Bob :2:

That car was owned by Ray Marler who co-owns I-55 in Pevely now with him.

I still have hair.

We all do, but not all of it is on our heads anymore, my eyebrows and nose hair win that one! Bob

I think it may be the 1977 nationals. There is a trailer in the picture which I think belonged to Siebert Olds. As I remember it was the first time some one brought a sprint car in a major enclosed trailer. Eddie Leavitt drove the Siebert #9 at the nationals. The car next to Kenny is the #40 R&H Farms car. I think this 40 car was new as the #40 that won the nationals was a Beck car.

Was the Marler car a former Pancho Carter car? I remember the 4 was sort of a robins egg blue color.
