Also, around the same time, Mark Gerke had a Toyota in his midget, which was different at the time.
I remember when he blew up that Toyota at Salem and slid in his own oil and it almost went under the backstretch guardrail. I think Gherke owned a Toyota dealership in Panama City, Florida. He was developing that engine on his own without factory support IIRC. Bright red/orange, #71?

Again, memory not so good so don't shoot me if I'm recalling this incorrectly.
