Your memory serves you well, Billy. Sonny Dutton raced a 1970 Cutlass W-31 4 speed in the early to mid Seventies, if my memory is also working, ( doubtful). Seems like it was white or yellow, not sure 'cuz Sportsman racers seldom were shown in color on the pages of ND back then. I believe he won two Nat's in a row about that time. A very good guy, he didn't know me from sikkum, but was willing to answer all my pestering questions about Rockets during a 90 minute phone call.
I'll bet if young Mr. Waibel asked his Dad about Sonny we could find out a lot more. Jim Waibel was another guy I followed closely, along with Ingersoll of course. Dennis, congrats on uncovering that killer combo.
