Anyone have more pictures of WJ cars?

I don't have any good pics, as I lost them all on my old computerwhich I need to get fixed.
But....., I do remember going to the SummerNationals at E Town in like 1990, when it was in July, and it was 300 degrees at 9am, lol.
We were walking into the pits and walked right over to the Pro Stock pits past the entrance. There is 3 or 4 guys screaming and yelling atWarren as he's wrenching his car Sunday morning. They are calling him every name in the book and then some. They were Mopar boys fans and spent the day harassing him between rounds. We gota good laugh. Don't rememberwho won, but it was a spectacle those couple of loons. They'd be tossed rather fast these days.

Any chance that this was more like 1995 after the Wayne County Speed Shop was "broken into in the middle of the night" and the entire entire Mopar Pro Stock cylinder head and block program was mysteriously sledge hammered to death? I seem to recall that the "perpetrators" spray bombed a corporate GM symbol on the walls which read "see you in E-town".

I LOVE where you have the quotation marks here ...LOL I was a huge fan of those guys and was pissed when it happened - then I felt like an idiot when the truth "came out"....

Then I felt worse for Jerry Eckman who got nailed red-handed.....

Been a fan of WJ for as long as i can remember, ( 40 years ? ). Didnt see it in person, but when he wrecked the pro stocker, he immediately got out of the totaled out car and covered the intake manifold with his racing jacket so no one could see it. CLASSIC move..... LOL
