I found in my Dad's things the 1974 IMCA Year book.

Some tid bits.

The You-Tube video that BC posted showed Jan Opperman winning the Tampa Winter Nationals in 1974. He also won in 1973 and according to the program he pocketed $775.00.

Thad Dosher was the 1973 IMCA sprint car champion.
Sporsmanshiip Award was given to Buzz Rose
ROY was Bill Miller
Best Dressed Pit Crew - Bill Utz

IMCA held 22 races that year. Opperman 2 wins, Kenny Weld 2, Bill Utz 7, Thad Dosher 3, Gene Gennetten won at Des Moines, Jerry Hanson won back to back at St. Paul MN.

Top 10 in points
Thad Dosher
Gene Gennetten
Bill Utz
Ray Lee Goodwin
Buzz Rose
Larry Kirkpatrick
Earl Wagner
Bill Burks
Ralph Blackett
Leonard McCarl

Pretty Cool find with lots of pictures.
