If Larson was driving it he probably saw it
The Beer Wagon was just a bit before my time. I've heard stories of Sheldon Kinser driving the wheels off of the sprint car edition back in his day. I also remember hearing about Tom Bigelow driving the Indy Car iteration of The Beer Wagon at Indianapolis.Quote:

I'd love to have a time line and list of all the cars and drivers that drove The Beer Wagon over the years. Correct me if I'm wrong, Mark, but weren't those all those cars based out east somewhere or am I off base on that?
You be right on the location and time line. You make me feel old when u say your were a snot nosed kid cuz I was one myself as I ran around Lions, Ascot, and Saugus among others when young. I thought for sure you would have seen that car. It was something when it came out west.

CIRF, when you get a chance and it strikes you to, go to Nitromater.com and check out the many posts I did about me beloved Lions Drag Strip since I recall you enjoying the 1320 action.

I do love the 1/4 mile stuff, Mark. Drag racing is really the only form of 4 wheel motorsports that I had the guts and wherewithal to participate in. Although I do enjoy the NHRA fuel and pro classes my heart is really with the cars I can relate to, which is to say the closer to stock divisions. I raced some modified production stuff of my own soon after I got out of college but it was a whole different universe from what they're racing now, even in those classes. Won a few lost a lot! LOL! Dear memories, to be sure.Quote:

Welcome Litman. We try to have some fun here in the sprint car section. We hope you stick around! Some of the other sections aren't quite as cheerful, but you'll catch on to that.Quote:
