    Early Camaro in the background, so this was at least 1967 or so...
    Obvious he's a low-budget racer. Nothing in the way of sponsor decals, etc. I guess all the money goes in the racer.....


    BTW - What was the reason the Willys body was so popular for racing in that class?

    In the gas class you had to use a common recognisable American made body. Engine size was unlimited.
    So the tiny Willys coupes were the first choice although things like Studebakers were also run. An old friend of mine in Ventura is well known for his work on the coupes (Kevin Perry ) and can recite chapter and verse on the history of these cars.:)
