Hey guy's its flat black does that make it a RAT SPRINT. Our entry in the Little 500 next week in Anderson Indiana.
If you need any equipment while you are here I am in indy, have 2 tig welders, tubing bener, mill, lathe etc. e mail me for my cell # if you want it Roy Caruthers [email protected]
It was Brooke Tatnells car at last years Knoxville Nationals. Flat black paint, Red wheels, and whitewalls.
Hey, where's the "tradition"? A properly done rat sprint sportin' an Army logo that ain't got no O.D. Them wheels need some olive drab! By the way, ya better put some new tires on that sucker, the grooves are plumb wore smooth. Good luck, Goodfoot.
Good luck this week at the little 500. Who will be driving the car? Let me know so I can see how you guys do. Good luck!!!
Keith Butler will be in 05, Shane Butler in the 55b, Tommy Nichols in the 55, Troy Decair in the 68. All our buddies here in the TAMPA area. The 05 lives here in the shop. Thanks Ted
I helped a friend with a sprinter for the little 5 one year, I believe it was 94 maybe. The owners name was Bryan Robinson, and Keith Butler was the driver. It was a blue and white non downtube #57. I lived in FL for 4 years while in high school and remember seing the Butlers race down there. Good luck!
2nd round of qualifying is this afternoon. My 2 boys are there now and im leaving from michigan at 3:30 heading to indy for the hoosier hundred then back to anderson for the lil 500 tomorrow. I dont see his car # there were 38 that qualifyed and the top 15 are locked in. Thats why the 2nd round today. Ill look for him and the car tomorrow Dave
john56h.......That blue #32 with Central Auto Parts on the wing raced against us back in '69 - '70. It was involved in a terrible crash and was busted in half. I rebuilt it completely from the motor plate forward. It's currently in Thunder Bay, Ontario in a friend's collection awaiting restoration. It was formerly owned/driven by Buzz Barton from Tampa, FL.
