Bob,

The 50 car was owned by Danny Burke. At the time he bought the chassis from Jack Elam he had a Dirt Champ car he was building and a new Edmonds midget chassis sitting in the shop and didn't have time to build a sprint chassis so he ordered this one.

They ran the car for a year then sold it to whoever Bruce Walkup was driving for. Danny built a new car for the next season and they went to a track in Ill. for a USAC race ( believe it was Sherville or something like that, 1/2 mile paved track) and Walkup set fast time then Ronnie went out in the new car and set exactly the same time.

Hope that answered your question, maybe someone else knows more of the car's history after this.

Thanks,
