Nothing like watching Sammy come from the back at the Chili Bowl!!!

This one has to be my favorite. It was built around 1961 at the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway garages by the late Lujie Lesovsky for
Elmer George, Tony George's father. He later sold it to A.J. Foyt who
is pictured in it. It ran as the Traco Special. The car was purchased
from Foyt by Frank Wagner of St. Paul, MN and was driven by Jerry
Richert and Jerry "Scratch" Daniels, among others.
It's my favorite because I had the opportunity to drive it when I warmed it up a a track up this way.

Man, I wish sprint cars still looked like this! It's cars from that era that first made me a race fan. I've been in the pits at Perris a few times when Jimmy Oskie brought out that black sprinter (is it the King O' Lawn special?). In any case, that is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen, race car or otherwise.

 Lauren.....Yep ! The white/blue car on the left is the former Elmer George car. The #63 was the Wagner team car. Here's a shot of that #63 car a few years later when it ran as a super with Jerry "Haircut" Lepinski in the seat. At the time it was owned and wrenched by Tom Wilke who is a cousin of StanM of Minnesota Dirt Track Racing website fame. :)
