Even the best of drivers lose the handle from time to time. Here’s Brad Anderson chasing the starting-line staff at Fremont Raceway in what I’d guess would be about 1973. I saw Anderson a ton during my many years at OCIR but only saw him crash once, later in 1983. The car got loose off the starting line and hit and then climbed over the guardrail. Anderson couldn’t repair the car in time for the Finals (also at OCIR that year), so he borrowed Mike Grieco’s similar car and won the race. (Gary Aronson photo)

 

Can anyone help me with finding history on my recently purchased Marchant Automotive 41 Willys truck that was built in 59 and raced mainly at Fremont and ocassionally Bakersfield Winternats? Was raced by Bruce Bethel in the 80's and Bill Babcock from the 90's until 2011 when it went to Detroit and then now to Tennessee.

Im looking for ownership history, photos, videos, anything??
