The picture I have, I took in AJ's shop, and it's not lit too well, yours is much better. That old fart driving it, goes up and helps AJ every tues, than comes to my shop to tell me what they did. He's restoring one of his original roadsters now, someone found it, and it had been narrowed, and turned into sort of a modified, anyway, the chassis is about done, Weeks is starting on the nose, the Offy has been in, so by Spring, he should have it done. I don't know if they've figured out who raced it at Indy yet or not. Bob

I love the name on the helmet, too. Far cry from today's custom painted versions.

This isnt an old sprint photo but this is a cool picture of Darrell Waltrip sitting on the scales at Tri State Speedway in his late model.

WHAT? PAT CLANCY CAR HAD 2 MIDGET REAR ENDS BILLY DEVORE DROVE IT AT INDY IN 1948 AND JACKIE HOLMES IN 1949! THEN THEY PUT A CHAMP REAR IN IT AND JIMMY DAVIS WON SEVERAL CHAMP RACES IN! THEN LATER DIZZ WILSON ENDED UP WITH IT CAR 73 AND JOHNNY RUTHERFORD DROVE IT IN IMCA AND LIVED IN MITCHELL WITH JIM MCELREATH AND BUZZ ROSE!!!!!!!!!!:checkered:

All,

I went past Dad`s and he set me straight on a few of my misquotes . The Brewer boys got the body and frame from Dizz. The 6 wheeler had parallel bars on the back and you can see below the rear radius rods a cut out in the body where the adjusters were . He said you could look down the frame rails from the rear of the car and see the tubes which had once housed both sets of rear bars. Dad also said he didn`t get in on any fabrication on the one Bob`s driving except to cut the cage off and some of the body mounting structures. He did help Pete and Jerry drag what was left of it behind the garage to a ditch .That winter they put the cage and body work on a different frame he thinks came from Billy Earl. Sheldon Kinser was going to start driving for them and the old cage was too short. Dad built them a taller cage for that car in the 65-66 timeframe.

the tail piece on that car looks indentical to the one Roy Robbins had on his yellow#31 at Lawrenceburg in the early 60's. could those cars be related, J.L. ?
