This is my favorite old car. 1975 The car was dominant at the local track and had snap on and off back wheel guards to help ward off the dirty guys. lol LM's had 13 inch tire widths back then.

Bubstr, I don't know about Richards being with Combs. And this car (the Combs car) was a Howe I believe. Ken Walton, below, from Iowa, not Hoffman won the World 100 in 1978 with a Jig-A-Low car from Georgia, the number 02 on it.

I could be wrong though...

Your right but I was close. They are both from Iowa and I remember the Jig-A-Low now. There was a lot of interest in the Jig-A-Low at a big race in Champaign Il, right before the World.
