Local Dirt Track Legend Passes...

the number 12 car is the one in the museum in Hartford, WI. it was a game changer car with torsion bar suspension on all four corners of the car and a power pack that would turn the right side rear tighter as you pumped it. Mouse told me the torsion bars only bounced once after going over a bump compared to 3-4 times for a buggy spring. he also told me on a restart of a race he could get the right rear tire up into the wet clay that was thrown to the outside of the track that was real tacky, give the power pack a couple of pumps and sling shot around 2-3 cars at once. it also didn't hurt that he had a visibly faster car than the rest of the pack due to a 289 small block ford stroked to 325 by Schlieper's speed shop. roller cammed, Hilborn fuel injection running on methanol. he was the 1968 Cedarburg track champion.
