Sprint cars have never looked better than they do today. Those in the pics are cool no doubt. I think the modern version is much cooler. The Sneva car has to be a retired Indy car with a roll cage retrofitted on, yes? The stands look a little like Nashville but I think I'm incorrect |

Tom, you are right. Had a crossover system, both pipes came out the right side of car. |

What always interested me about the Blair-Reutimann #3 coupe pictured here, besides it being a real beauty, is that it had the look of a Tobias-type 2x4 chassis with a wide cage and driver on the left ... which brother Buzzie, as well as Kenny Brightbill favored. I doubt there are any photos out there, but I'd like to see that frame sans body. Joel |

The cage on Sneva's car looks like it would do more damage than good. |

You could be right Butch. I remember Billy wearing those style hats a lot back then. |

I think the guy in stripes seems to tall to be Billy O. The Blair #3 had headers known as 180 degree headers. they were found on Super Latemodels back then. |

Sneva rear-engine USAC sprint car +0/-0

Tom Sneva's rear-engine USAC sprint car is from 1973. He won six features in the Carl Gehlhausen-owned car. Per Dick Wallen's book Seventies Championship Revolution, the car was the Huffaker-built MG Liquid Suspension car that Bobby Unser finished eighth with at the 1966 Indy 500. USAC outlawed rear-engine sprint cars following the 1973 season. |

Don't know which headers came first on the Paul Blair's beautiful coupe, standard or the "180s". There are photos of the car with each set in 3Wide's "Forever Young" photos, the "Nazareth" section. I built a model of the coupe using the standard headers as I was too lazy to fabricate the 180s. Scott Ely |

Who is that on the outside of the # 3? Also, look at he is leaning to the left. |

Yes, thats quite a lean, I thought it was the Superman car that used to run reading that always had different drivers. Some called it the Stuperman car. |

That's was only one of two cars that I know of that Al drove/owned, but didn't build. (The other was when he first started racing in late 1971 and was a former Lenny Martin #4 coupe that had also been run by Phil Meisner.) The picture above is from probably around August of the 1974 season. The #292 sedan had already been scrapped after a wicked flip down the frontstretch at East Windsor. Al bought the car in the picture just to finish up his first year in the modifieds, and I think it was a former Bobby Dragon(?) car. It started out as a red #37v for a week or two, and then Al stenciled the #292 on the sides of it with white paint.... and either that first night out as a #292, or possibly the time after, the result was a high flying frontstretch flip coming out of turn 4 at East Windsor... That was the end of the coupe above, and of Al's 1974 season. He'd be back in 1975 with a dark blue Gremlin homebuilt racer, that he built on a slightly smaller than scale chassis made by the late Mike Kostic. |
