That is one of the Amerling cars. John Henson of West Virginia bought the car and him and his buddy Steve Enslow (on the right in the pic) took it to Florida and Duke drove the car in a few races at the old Tampa fairgrounds that year. That is Dave McPherson standing in the back of car and Steve Enslow is on the right. I can't think of the mechanics name who's standing on the left. John took the car to Lakeland that year and ran it in a "supermodified" race there and won the 100 lapper against the supers. But, it took an all night fight and checking the scorers sheets to determine he'd won. John also bought a later version of the Amerling car too. Had Mark Alderson in it and then Steve ended up with the car and ran USAC with Mark for a few years.
