Heavy's Challenger was the Billy the Kid Stepp car. Heavy bought it directly from Stepp.

He picked it up at Bluegrass Dragway in Lexington, Ky. Stepp already had Carman Rotundra's name and number (146) on the door. They had a match race against Jenkins that day. I have a pic but can't get it to post
