Does anybody have any info or pics on Don grotheer's 63 max wedge I know it was raced a lot at green valley for a few years then sold locally in Oklahoma as a daily driver with a 361 in it & ended up in ohio in the 70's. here's what it looked like shortly after he bought it new & as raced in ohio any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Cool!

I remember seeing this car run at Okla City in early '63. Don had just installed a traction bar system that went to the back of the car, when he left the starting line these bars actually pulled down on the back of the car and raised the front. Ask Don about them, I'm sure he will remember because they didn't stay on the car long. If I remember correctly he stated that he had seen cars at the Winternationals with the same set up.

The red 64 that he raced at the Winternationals was on loan from Weldon Christian.
