Photos don't show up here, but the links works. Guess I need to experiment more.

Ok guess that maybe gets the photos there, but really big. Will need to play with this some. Anyway go to the link in my first post if you like open wheelers. This was from Sep 22, 2016 at the Arizona Racing Museum.

Your photos bleed over into the banner ads and the reply box like there's a virus or something. The link is fine, you've got some great pictures in there. 

Edit: fantastic pics. I haven't seen the Tamale Wagon in ages.

The big one was were I just did a copy of the screen on from the photo site and pasted it. Obviously that doesn't work right. Have to do some more playing around, but as long as the links are working right that'll do it. Just like to put up a few sample photos so people see what they're linking to.

Thanks for the comment of the photos themselves. Have to publish a set from another collection with an older version of the Tamale Wagon. With no more Copper Classic, Manzy gone and National Speed Sport News not published I've sort of lost connections with the open wheelers.

 

Let's see if this choose files thing works. Looks like it might. Anyway glad you enjoyed the photos.

I right clicked to copy your picture and then pasted it here

Thanks, think I've got it figured out now. By the way anyone that has information on this car I would be curious to hear it.

The #60 STP Plymouth powered car used the Weslake engine developed by us for the 1969 Indy car race. Had a 327" engine with Weslake heads. The #60 car was built by Grant King and driven by Greg Weld in the USAC dirt series. See note below:

In 1969, the next to last year in which the USAC National Championship circuit was to include selected 100-mile dirt track races, Weld drove an experimental Plymouth-powered car to four straight poles at Springfield, Du Quoin, the Hoosier 100 and Sacramento.

Thanks for the additional info. Knew it was a Grant King chassis, but not much else about it. Was this a factory affiliated project?

Anybody that wants to add more info about any of the cars, or if you have old photos of any in action, add them on to here. More reference for everyone.

The "Arizona Hard Chrome" midget out of Phoenix Az.  Off-loading at the Unser museum.

The Unser Museum is a good trip. Finally got there about year and half ago. Will post the photos in a separate thread. That's a nice looking midget.
