Welcome to Indiana Open Wheel.

Oolitics the place, he and Mom still live there. He's slowed down a lot (71 yoa) The last of the big block chevy sprint cars. I was told that Keith Ford (who owned Paragon) still has that car. I tried to buy it once from him about 15 years ago but since Karl Kinser built that chassis he wanted quite a bit for it. Got some great pictures of it, may try to load some of them up at a later date.

Again, WELCOME to the board!
I was too young to remember the F800 car, got some pictures though.

Thanks for the compliments about my Dad, I will pass them on to him.
