That is a cool pic and car. That should be right up Pop's alley especially if it was red!

I posted a pic of a 64 circle tracker years ago looking to see if someone knew where it raced.
I think this might be the same car. Body is mounted on chassis with the same attitude, 3/4 ton floaters all around and might even be the same track tower in the pic. I'll repost if I ever find it.

Checked out Carl and he was active at Eastside Speedway in Va.
Looking at the spectator cars, this looks like late 60's, maybe 1970?
