It was at Ray Skillman's Classic Cars a couple of years ago...

MAC, if that's the same one that was hanging in AJ's shop ceiling, it went back to Wisconsin a few years back, evidently the younger folks from Leader Card thought it should be in their possession, the pictures I have of it hanging, it has a bolt on cage, I think from when BIG drove it. Nope, just looked again, the one that was picked up, looks different, it is indeed a dirt car, with a Ford Indy engine, but the pitman arm is straight, and there is an "air duct" on each side, that looks like a velocity stack, that might have added fresh air to the driver, and the oil cooler isn't on it. Sorry! Bob

Thanks for the help, guys! The car hanging from AJs ceiling was a champ car.
Here is a pic of the sprint car at its current location at Ray Skillman's.
