Willie was my Dad... He passed away quickly in Sep 96...environmental lung cancer...all the chemicals used at his carburetor shop. I came across Phil and the new owner Mike when I posted a pic of my Dad and his car in a drag racing group on facebook. I was overwhelmed by the amount of people that responded with great comments.

Is the "upside down lettering" similar to Harry Potter and "he who must not be named" thing? Lol..anyway the Miller Killer lettering wasn't on long...I remember it well...I loved growing up on the track.

I remember going on a few trips with him to Napierville ,Englishtown, Sanair of course the Valley .Towing with the big white wagon . I remember he'd love to race people with the tow car .

I am loving all the interest around the wagon and to hear the old stories are amazing. I tried to upload some pictures of the wagon the way it is now but I am getting the message that they are too large. I do have an album of a couple pictures if anyone is interested in seeing it currently.
