At that time it was probably the only Max Wedge stick car in the country since John Wilson (the 4sp set-up was in his SS Hemi car...some of you may remember it). We raced it until 1997 in Div 4/5.

Phil, I worked with the guy in Sioux Falls that owned that car and had it lettered with 'Grey Ghost'. He raced the car very sporatically at Thunder Valley and the now defunct Empire Dragway. A bunch of us were talking the other day about some of the old race cars that are still around and the 'Grey Ghost' came up. -Al
