Maybe I'm wrong, but weren't wings on the cars for Knoxville in '78?
I remember the one and only WoO race I went to at Eldora in '78, MOST of the cars had wings, but a few did not. I think Roger Rager ran without one among others.

Anybody know for sure?
Nic pic though.
Greg, no wings for three years [1978-1980] that I attended. After the Gary Scott fatal wreck in 1982[?] wings were added.

I think it may be the 1977 nationals. There is a trailer in the picture which I think belonged to Siebert Olds. As I remember it was the first time some one brought a sprint car in a major enclosed trailer. Eddie Leavitt drove the Siebert #9 at the nationals. The car next to Kenny is the #40 R&H Farms car. I think this 40 car was new as the #40 that won the nationals was a Beck car.
Was the Marler car a former Pancho Carter car? I remember the 4 was sort of a robins egg blue color.
