Name that Car 2

No.

Mel Kenyon

Still no.

Sheldon Kinser

Yes, it's the late Sheldon Kinser! :up:
I noticed his name while I was doing some research on the Pete Hasmer picture and it rang familiar to me, because I enjoy dirt racing too. Motors TV is broadcasting these days a World of Outlaws event in New Zealand and there are two members of the Kinser family in the race (including Sheldon's cousin, Steve).

Here's a truly amazing fact about Sheldon Kinser's Indy career :
Six time starter of the Indianapolis 500, [...] Sheldon had never driven a rear engine car or raced on pavement until he quailified 26th and finished 12th in the 1975 Indianapolis 500.

It was a little bit of a brain tweak with so many Champcar/Sprint car drivers. I was reading an article about Kinser and he was an amazing driver. So many drivers back then came from dirt track backgrounds even 2 time CART Champ Al Unser Jr. Imagine how many it would be now if USAC had went to the rear engine sprinters.

I can't wait to guess one. I just gotta post this. Sometimes we forget where this series might have been going previous to TG deciding to commit business hara-kiri. http://www.ten-tenths.com/forum/showthread.php?t=52804
