3rd photo, the orange 62 is Jim Willis.  I was the lettercarrier for the Willis family for several years and every now and then I would stop in their garage checking the car out and talk with Jim's dad for a few minutes.  Good people.

The trucks were a regular division at Wall for five or six years in the late 90's.. The truck count peaked at about 20. They were a blast to drive because you could see so well out of them. They had basically Cup car suspension with rear truck arms. Most were Chevys, but there were a few Fords and one Chrysler. Myself and Bernie Bailey owned one together, felt bad scrapping those great 68-72 Chevy Trucks for parts and body parts. The truck division was split between a bunch of farmers from Monmouth County and a bunch of 609'ers (area code) from South Jersey that really did'nt like each other. The racing was real good and competitive. In the end, it seemed they all got along and had a ton of fun doing it.  I still see alot of the guys and we laugh about it. Fun times.
