No it wasn't the Crombie Zombie as that was an old Vollstedt.

There were a lot of mistakes that is why I use notes, NSSN and USAC stuff to determine my 1968 stuff. Plus EYE BALLS.Quote:

It is the Buddy Boys Entry from Canada, it is an Eldon Rassmussen modified Atlanta that Larry McCoy raced in the mid 1970's with a Chevy Engine installed.
Bobby Harkey actual flagged off a run in 1980, way too slow. Taken at the Speedway in 1980.
I was there and plain forgot about that effort. Both Buddy and Trevor ran some races and I think Trevor ran a NCTS race not that long ago.

I was thinking those radiator pods looked pretty Ras-car like.... nice find!
If whom ever is saying Harkey, Indy, 1980, Ras-car that is correct, if one did not well that is the answer
I was working there and stubbed my toe on that car in 1980, literally.Quote:

It was listed OFFICIALLY as an RASCAR-Atlanta, as there was a RASCAR-Vollstedt also.
The first is the modifier the second is the chassis. Harkey drove the following type of car twice in 1973 and 1974.
KENYON-Coyote-Eagle/Foyt
The Chassis was an Eagle, 1967 in nature, the body was orginally Joe Leonard's/Jim McElreath Coyote from 1967/1968 and modified by Don Kenyon.
It has been listed in pictures as a Kenyon/Foyt. One then assumes it was built by Don but it wasn't.

Two cars, who are they, where, what kind of cars and the significant this historic picture for the two drivers.
