A long time ago around 1975 I saw an NHRA SS car at the Tulsa race track testing during a bracket race. I believe it was a 68 or 69 Olds cutlass. Dark red with the name Bob Horn ( ?) on it. Very impressive since it was an NHRA car. Seldom saw any in real life during the AHRA days around Tulsa. Anyone know anything about this car? Never saw it again and always wondered.

I know of a Gene Horn that had a burgundy 66-67 but he may have predated that time period and may have been in a different area.

As I recall the story Ingersol had changed the trim to a 72 model and the same engine used a slightly smaller valve, which he had installed. So, even after the hit on the 71 he would have still been able to run SS/O. I think they put HP on the 72 combination on the spot in tech and told him he had to run SS/N. Now all of these "facts" could be out of whack since it was 35 years ago. But, maybe someone else may know something about that deal.

This car has little more history.............. this car was originally Dad's 1970 King Olds Smothers Brothers car. it was painted that year all white due to Tom and Dick getting in trouble on tv. at the end of the 1970 season the changes to a 1971 body were very minnor and Dale Smith sent dad the items to turn the car in to a '71 that is the year it was painted with the blue"fish scale" as dad calls it and ran the car in stock almost winning the division 2 championship. as 1972 rolled around the changes to the from factory included a hood change the original hood is still in his shop mint cond. as we all know NHRA rolled stock into super stock and dad ran the car as a SS/O all of '72 as for when he sold it to Buddy not sure but Dad then went to Modfied with a 67 Camaro.
So Buddy's car came right out of the Factory wars. To the tune of it helped oldsmobile win the manfactures cup in 71,72.

Interesting that the Ingersoll car was the Smothers car at first.

Guess nobody runs Concorde street tires on a B/Stock car any more .

Most people remeber the 1969 Smothers Brothers team the most and in 1969 dad had his W-31 Convertible King Olds car of which went back to King olds at the end of 69 and Dad recived the 70 Hardtop.
We have the 69 W-31 at the shop looking for sponsor's to resotore the car. We even have the invoice between Louie King and Dad with the matching VIN number.
