Re: 1972 remlinger olds
 
Well I thought you would like it and the article certainly is pertinent to this thread. I didnt know if you knew about the article and/or already had it. Let me know if you get in touch with Jim Wheeler and see how he has been doing. I think Im going to crop down the other photos in the article and add them to this post. I think cropping the photo of the car enlarged it a bit.

Re: 1972 remlinger olds
 
Its not the Remlinger car but I sure would like to know who it is. I cropped that Olds out of the background and posted it on the classicoldsmobile Olds Race Car thread. Its looks alot like the Al Seger/Dick Griffin Cutlass SX convertible in my signature and profile pictures and that I manage to post everywhere but that car had a white top and interior whereas this car has a black top and dark interior. The Seger/ Griffin SX also had painted sport mirrors and this car has a chrome mirror. The car is a 71 and I think its a SX. I think the track is Indy isnt it?

Moose,
Im still looking for that white Cutlass SX Al Seger article. Let me know what that cover looks like if you run across it. Got to be sometime post March 1972 to circa mid 1973 and I believe it to be Hi Performance Cars also. Thanks. Sam I stumbled across the Remlinger article looking for the car below so we have this car to thank for that. And I made a mistake Sam. The Remlinger issue is March 1973 instead of August 1972 which doesnt make sense why the Remlinger letters are not the car when we have the October 1972 picture with the Remlinger letters.

Or maybe the article took a long time to go to press.

We built this car in late 74 and raced it in 75. This was the first year of two that we raced off the index with the first car to the stripe the winner without any breakout. There is a long story about this car involving Dale Smith, Oldsmobile and fellow racers. Some of it interesting some unpleasant but all fact. I don't want to go into the unpleasant part at this time but will be happy to share the rest with you. I'll see if I can dig up some photos. This car was dismantled and crushed in 1977.
