 Carl on the track in 1970 (added 3/19/07) |
 This is the same car shown in the photos above. Carl and his crew built and ran it from 1969-71. It was at this time that the open wheel coupes were being replaced with a more "late model" full bodied style of car. The open wheel coupes were still allowed to run against the newer full bodied cars up until coupes were completely phased out. This car was destroyed after heavy impact with a wall in 1971, as shown on below. |

 A closer look at the car |
 Carl went back to an open wheel car for his last season, 1973. The car, shown here at an opening day practice session, was co-owned by Carl and Bud Hall. The chassis was purchased from Dick Wolstenhulme. |
 Here's Carl winning for one of the last times. It was shortly after this that Carl retired from racing. |
 Here's a rough photo of Carl involved in a spin during the 1973 season. It looks as if everyone is taking evasive action to avoid wrecking. I like this photo because it shows so many different styles of open-wheel race cars that ran at that time. |
