This is what I asked about thinking the hot pant girls were on a plum crazy racing team car,I asked quite a while back in a post,it was plum nuts,so was I when I saw them in 72 at division points meet in omaha,39 willys coupe was whom we were there to pit crew with,Duane Dysinka,with the omaha on front in green at same race posted later here,he was known as wheelie king of midwest and ran 283 bored to 292 fuel injection in it if I remember correctly d/gas.May not have spelling correct on Duane`s name but my uncle worked at napa in Omaha and it is why I was at the race in first place.I was 15 then,thanks for the pics Big Dad,I had a hawkeye camera and had no clue how to use it,and when I got pictures back very few are worth posting but will scan and post the few that are,71 pics.Found a couple pics and they are bad and were dated 72 on picture.So have say it must of been in 72.Most these cars were there and Judy Lilly was in her ss/aa bacaruda and won,don grotheer defeated dyno don in finals of pro stock there also.My uncle was chevy,me and my father were for the mopar camp.Both pro stockers lost clutches in final and grotheer out coasted for win.Will never forget what got me hooked young on this sport....

Bill Voight from Sioux City was the last owner, think he told me he hauled the carcass to the scrap heap


And the wagon in this picture got squished as well

I'm probably wrong but the red haired guy pictured in the left lane, sure looks like the dude that was there, when I runner-upped at the 1991 Division 5 et finals.

Do any of you folks remember this car running up north or at TVD? It was sold to a guy in Minnesota around 1966. I saw it at Indy a few times after that and it still had the light blue stripes. As you can see it was an aluminum car. It had a Bill Jenkins engine and at least prior to the sale had won a lot of Division 4 and 5 races. I have always wondered what happened to it. It was owned by some friends of mine here in Oklahoma. They bought it from a guy back east that had moved to Dallas. I think his last name was Nelson, but could be wrong.
