I just talked to Mike Daly Jr and the plan is to have the 55 there again. It is always on display in the MidLife Auto car collection here in Omaha

The Grove Bros A/G opel was driven by Jim Grove, who won the Div 5 Modified title over John Prestons Wunderbug Carmen Ghia who won the Modified title at the last Cornhusker WCS race and was also r/u @ the World Finals at Amarillo that year. He moved out west and won the 75 Div 7 Mod championship by winning 4 of the 5 div races. Broke in the final round of the 5th race.
