For the Ellison Special to race with those guys they would have to update it a little and put a cage on it. Not a bad idea considering that these guys are actually racing and not showing.

USAC asked me to just pace the field for that particular night. We run the Non-cage cars very hard at certain events and tracks. Roy's (#5 car in the Newer vintage series) guys do run a pretty good show, but it for later caged Sprint cars of the 70's & 80's and they run MODERN whells and tires, shocks etc. That's something we will NEVER do on our vintage cars.
Jo Kerr, Roy (when he drives our cars) and myself run the Early Non-cage cars VERY hard when we go to places like Pa.

Glad you enjoyed seeing it.
