He won several divisionals, and I think some national events with it. I believe he ran both the 283, and the 327 in that great wagon (the 283 for sure). I recall him running SS/MA with that wagon, and being a worthy foe for anyone who lined up against him...especially at Bandimere Speedway! If anyone has a photo of that wagon I'd like to see it here too?

Oh, and lest I also forget about another wagon that has made it's presence felt here in D7 that used to be a formidable foe for D5 racers back in the late '90's to mid-'00's. The former Bobby Stevens driven '65 Chevy Nova Wagon, currently being campaigned by all-stars winner Gregg Luneack!

One more former formidable wagon of the 70's and '80's for you AMC fanatics, was the "Kelvinator" campaigned by one Rick Rusk also in D5. I forget if it was a Concord wagon, or another model type, but it was a great car for him, and was cool to watch, because he was a winner with it too!!!

Between those great wagons and Jody Lang's wagon, I wish (sometimes) I would've gotten one of them to be a racer. It sure would've been easier to work on, and especially w/o the fuel injection to deal with....

Any chance the one on the left is Ed Wises wagon? I took this pic sometime in the mid to late 70's at the div 5 track in Western Colorado. I can't quite read it, but appears to have ss/?? on it..the white one is clearly an SS/LA car. There was also a Chevelle 2dr wagon that showed up from time to time in that era.
