@earth2joe They were still using them in 1975 since I took a photo of Ivo doing a fire burnout that was in Hot Cars Magazine. Just Google "Pentax Ivo fire burnout" and you will see my photo that was in Hot Cars Magazine.
Brown & white Ford truck in background at the 1.02 mark on the timer is my dad, myself and a couple friends. This was the last of the qualy runs and we were gonna watch from the end of the track so we could beat the traffic out. One of the worst crashes I had ever witnessed. I thought Tommy was a gonner! He only needed a band-aid.
FEAR... fear in his eyes... NO SH#T I see fear in YOUR eyes as well just watching this two week old digger being turned into scrap. OF COURSE he wasin fear !
I met Tommy in 1983. He was so nice and polite, and it turned out we had a mutual good friend. I saw him race many times back in the sixties, along with Don Garlits, Shirley Muldoney, and many others at Union Grove, Wis and at US 30. Great times.

I always liked Ivo because he dared to be different with the Buick nailhead dragsters.
