Thanks Rick! Always wondered about Bobby's car. Looked like a sprint car in the front. The #40 maybe Wayne Cusick? |

Didn't Harry Benjamin shrink down a sprint car and turn it into a midget to run with SMRC in the early to mid 70's? |

Bobby had a few good years in that car. At one point it had a minimalistic amount of sheet metal on it. It looked like a "bug". They were sponsored by Baker Petroleum for a while and had some success. My Dad was friends with one of Bobby's crew. Good folks to humor a kid runnig around in the pits! Any more pictures of this car would be appreciated. What a great time. Allen Urry |

I remember 1 night at US 13, Bobby flipped this car. His fire extinguisher came unclipped and bounced around in the cockpit. I believe he broke some ribs. The 40 car is Wayne Cusick. |

I remember this car from when I used to help Kerry Schloder, and we ran at US13 speedway. Remember people talking about it, and how there were no rules at that time to say he couldn't run it. |
