The " Little Red Wagon" was Dodge A100 pick up truck owned and driven by Bill "The Maverick" Golden, and yes he did some exhibition 1/8" mile wheelstands at Chandler back in the day.

That place was packed!

Tom,

The jet car I saw was probably Art Arfons. I remember a spectators car window was broken as a result of the jet engines exhaust.
The Little Red Wagon also performed on the full quarter mile at Sturgis, KY. I Believe Bill Golden was from southern Illinois and ran a super stock Dodge at Sturgis before he got the Little Red Wagon.
