I thought it might have been the driver's name on the helmet, but looking a little closer, I think it says, "God Bless"just above the American Flag. Comments welcome. |

I have no idea for sure but the name Jim Fowler sticks in my head as a driver in the #16. I do know however that Monty Wernett was in the #17 passing by. |

Not Fowler, car is too modern and good looking! Jim was still running a sixties era Trevis in the late eighties. |

URC required cages starting in 1970, wings were allowed in 1971. Car flipping had a wing, other did not, so I'm saying 1971 or later. Apparently not everyone thought wings were necessary. |
