We were just talking about those headers the other day! The first time I saw them was in tear-down at the SPORTSNationals in '75-'76. Jack (Roush) told me to get some rags and cover the "special features" and put the headers in the trunk and shut it. Sometime in the early eighties, I saw a small ad in the back of a magazine for a set that looked just like those. I'm sure others had 'em, but it took a while before they were common knowledge!

In 1975, I believe, the Coal Digger made the trip from KY to the Winternationals on an open trailer pulled behind the Nitro 9 enclosed truck. It'd be nice to have a picture of that! Clyde Brandon and Gene Turnage were around here quite a bit back then.
