US Nats ? For You Older Guys

Truman won the eleminator in 73 at Indy

In 76 Truman sold the car to Roy McKinney and took a 68 Firebird in trade from them. This became the Hard Times 2 car it was Green with a vinyl top.

In 77 Truman won class (C/S) and lost early in the eleminator

In 77 Mike McKinney won ( B/S ) class and stock eleminator at the US Nationals.

I own the car that Truman took in trade and posted the pictures of the 77 class win with my car now.

The article is wrong that the car was burgundy when Truman received it.

OK, I'm confused. This article clearly states that the car Mike McKinney traded to Truman was BURGANDY. Says Truman got it running quicker than Mike was running in Truman's old car. There are 2 pics of the Burgandy car. There is no mention of a green car with a vinyl top.

So, is the info in this article completely false ?

Another question. That is clearly a Wally in his hand, in that winners circle pic. Truman did not win Stock that year at the US Nats. So, in '77, did they also give a Wally to all the class winners, as well as the eliminator winners.

Earlier pics showed a completely different trophy for class winners.
