I will dig around but I dont remember taking that out of the car.., or seeing it.. it must be 20 inches or so long... Video Little Red Wagon Indy Nats,BurnoutContest

(specifically Chargers, but I would imagine Super Bees too) 2) If 1) is true, then was it only used in non-tic-toc-tach equipped cars? Thanks! David '69 Dodge Charger R/T
