Dave Darland Car Identification help?

Joe@ScaleSprints · 12/5/07, 11:56 PM

Thanks to Susan I have these pictures of the "Circus Wagon" as she tells me it was called. Can anyone tell me what year(s) this car ran? Does anyone have anymore pictures of it?

I am planning on building a model of this car and could use the information. Any info would be GREATLY appreciated!

Hope you dont mind me posting these Susan, if so, let me know and I'll takle them down immediately.

Im thinkin that was 1991 or 1992. I for sure remember in 1992 at a AllStar race at Paragon & DD was running good in that car till Larry Bland ran into him. I think 93 was when the he started with the Valvoline colors.

Joe,

It was 1992, I am 100% sure.

That's right. It was 1992. No! I don't mind the pictures being posted at all ( I love seeing any pictures of Dave Darland) but FYI 'Circus Wagon' was a derogatory term, not a term of endearment.

A little more help on this one? Does anyone know what the writing on the tail tank said? Also, what is the canister with the hose above the left rear wheel? where does the hose lead to? Sorry if it seems like dumb question. Again, any help would be awesome. Heres a picture of the decals I have started creating for this beauty.

Sorry Susan, no harm intended.

It is a rear end filler can for gear changes goes to back section of rear end.

The writing on the tail tank says, "Ken and Deb Taylor". That is my sister and brother in law. No problem, Joe!! They were 'sponsers'. Those decals are awesome!!!

Thanks! Having a "guru" for these projects sure makes a difference!

I am assuming you mean grumpy racer because I had NO idea what THAT thing was!! LOL!!!:emote20:
But ...you are very welcome! Anytime!

Also, it actually doesn't say 'and' it has the little '&' sign.
