This is my "John Wayne" shot at the Winter Nationals back in the 60s.
I got the chance to drive a very famous gasser against a mad man at the Nationals when the regular drive crumbled like a cookie at the thought of losing that race.
Me, I was not scared and when the team owners asked I stepped up and drove this ride into the history books.
Due to a mess up by the guy doing the article for "Draggin News" the other guy who did not drive got the credit and not me.
Lucky for that other driver I really did not want his job full time. As you can see the team owners were offering me some serious cash to take over the full time driving duties but I passed.
I loved old Pebble and Tree but I wanted to stay independent.
Instead of SWC though the car could have been SWRRR for the Rat Rod Rodder.
Maybe SWR cubed would have looked even Kooler?
