Dave,

Echoing Ernie, kinda surprized to see this thread revived.

Regarding Bob Williams "Double Trouble" Chevelle. My memory may be failing me but he had Truppi-Kling on the side of the car. Steph Thompson, whom for a short time had a speed shop (1973ish) in an office suite near Meridian Street and Troy, always said that Truppi helped Williams so that Roger England wouldn't be the dominant SS/DA car in this neck of the woods. I was a dumb 19-20 year old pup back then, so take that with a grain of salt.

Those were some fun times back in those days. It's really kind of funny looking back, because many of those old local cars were impressive. Like most bracket racers today, many of those cars rarely were ever raced anywhere other than their local track.

Ernie, if you can post those pictures, I'd sure enjoy seeing them. Regarding the Sunfire, is that the same one you guys had at Brown County a couple years back? If so, that was one nice looking car!
