It's the picture at first that is wrong. (Sorry folks!)

I have pics of Sammy in the Kodiak #1 car from another April 1987 event at Eldora. I looked at his photos from 1988 and he is in the black TMC car.

Started taking photos in 1987 and I don't have any photos of Doty in the #18 Kodiak car, which would make me think he was in that car prior to 1987.

Fish Wasn't Wolfgang in that car ? I'm think he was for a short time .

Yes. I have photos of him in the Kodiak #18 at the 1988 Kings Royal. I don't think he stayed in the car long. Haud drove the Kodiak #18 at the start of 1988.

That makes sense...still the size of the purse then in comparison to cost of racing vs today's purse and cost of racing is just sad.
