Ron Ellis, Super Trick "T", AA/A, Saginaw, Michigan, 1969. Ron would be Super Eliminator runner-up at '69 Indy and '69 World Finals in this car. Paul Stage, AA/C, Rockford, IL in the far lane. Paul appears to have red-lighted as Ellis would've had the handicap head start.

Well put, Rick.

 

Hibler got R/U to Tony Nancy at 70 Smokers meet; Hibler let the red bulb.

 

Welhdon Bros Fiat was an Irwindale regular and 427 Ford wedge.

 

That would make an awesome, and awesomely fun, race car today.

Wish I had a lot of money!

 

Had forgotten about this one, the Stinger, think Roger Hardcastle was one of the owners, was Pat Akins involved also? If I remember correctly, they ran Akins' motor on nitro, can't imagine the class, there were no fuel modified sports cars, were they trying to be a funny car? Great picture, Rick, thanks for posting...
