Old picture I found of Dad marked Benton,IL Oct. 1972

You are correct Goatroper. Jack Wheat (my dad) drove the Grimlin / mod for Buck Harvey. Dad often talks about how great Buck was at making a car handel and how that made his job of driving it so much eaiser. Dad has all kinds of old racing stories from down in the Benton / southern IL area...
