Don Roddy ran this wagon in SS/IA class at my local track in the seventies. Don now runs a pro mod 56 T-Bird.

Don,

I found one Bob (of Beachys wagon).
I believe it is a Tom Kasch photo.

Good ol' Bob Rice has the pictures, doesn't he? That Plymouth wagon is how I remembered Al Corda. Seemed strange to see him racing a Pontiac.

I remember Jack's Pontiac wagon very well. I remember it's tail lights.

Got to talk to Jack at the national event Memphis this past summer. Always one of my favorite racers. "Gentleman Jack" fits him very well. If you get the chance, get him to tell you about breaking the engine in that wagon at a Laplace div points race. That has to be one of the winingest cars ever in div 4.
