I'm pretty sure that the car was built for them. I have the strong impression that it's a Haas car but they may have gone to Bickel as he was pretty big in the IHRA right about then.

At that time, business was still pretty good so all the manufacturers had deals in both the IHRA and NHRA. The Kirks had the Mopar deal. Directly behind them is the Konigshoefer (sp?) Thunderbird from Canada with a Quality Care deal.
