I know a fellow named Buck Burkhart who works in the service dept at Gates Automotive Group in Martinsville, IN. He has told me about a sprint car he was involved with that had a Pontiac engine back in the 60's. No mention of the history of the chassis. He is listed in the staff section of their website. Probably a long shot...

There was a Wayne Wolfe who raced supermods in southern Indiana in the 60's.

Wayne Wolfe was a regular at Lawrenceburg back in the 60's. I remember him driving a #55, and Ross Smith drove a Pontiac powered sprinter for a couple of years at the burg in the early 60's....it was purple and white with a single digit # on it (#4???). I believe a guy they called "Woody" (who worked for MagnaFlux) had involvement with the pontiac powered car...
