The famous Morales Brothers "Tamale Wagon" CRA Sprinter that Buster Vernard drove owned and restored to all its beauty by Buzz Shoemaker. The engine is a Moser DOHC small block Chevy. About 6 sets of these heads were produced, and I think three remain, with this one the only running example. Buz brings it out every now and then for Buster to drive as a SCRA Main Event pace car.

I shot this old super at Bontragers Powder Coating in Hutchinson, KS. It appears to be from the 60's. At first I thought it was the old Pat Haskard #86, but have been informed by Carl Curless (Pat's son inlaw) that it's not the #86. I don't have the details of this car, but it had an old decal from a racing association in Nebraska. I believe the wing was added to run with the 360 sprints in Hutchinson in the 80's.

This early 60's modified/rail was owned by Wes Bartlett from Hutchinson, Ks. this car ran mainly at Mohawk Speedway and the Kansas State Fairgrounds. Drivers that drove for Wes included Red Sims, Todd White, Wayne Harbold, and Ed Heaney was the mechanic.
This photo is of now and just the way it looked probably the last time it took to a track. AMAZING still in tack after all these years.
This car really brings back memories of my child hood at Mohawk Speedway.
