Interesting pic
This is one of Butch Leals Super Stock cars. This one driven by Gale Mortimer. Note the truck behind it. That's a Petty Enterprises hauler that Roy Hill used. The Pettys would help & maintain Butches cars when he was racing on the east coast

Butch's Arrow
The NHRA rules where not kind to the Hemi Arrows. So Butch did not run many NHRA events with it. He ran it in other clases such as B/MP & match races

Hemi Colt. The NHRA didn't allow the Colts to run Pro Stock because they where made in Japan. So they had to run in various sportsman classes. They where legal in Pro in other series. So often they would switch back & forth. These cars where dangerous.

The Wire car
The Mopar Missille. This is the infamous "Wire Car". It used a series of cables to hold the body up. An experiment in making a lighter race car. NHRA balked on this & Chrysler abandoned it. So driver Don Carlton bought it. It was sitting in a corner of his shop in Lenoir, NC for quite some time before it was sold to local sportsman racer Betty Sigmon. Apparently judging by how dirty it is & missing it's parachute it looks like they just pulled out from it long storage in this pic. Also of interest. Don was now driving for the Rod Shop team out of Ohio. That's their Dart Sport just to the right of this pic. You can see the tail end & wheelie bars
