I hope this comment makes it to the driver/owner. I'm 68 now but in the late sixties early seventies my dad took me to Capitol raceway in crofton MD and buds Creek/MIR now and I absolutely fell in love with the original I guess Rat Poison altered! At 12-14 years old man,the paint job heck everything about that little monster is something I can see right now in my memory! Thank you for the incredible life long memories!! Sincerely George.. God bless you and make some other kids life memory....
That chaise was set up perfect, straightest run I have ever seen! I can't remember the car's name or the driver's name, he would race with one hand on the side of the body. It was a hand full to keep it straight!
Hey Mike, thanks for the nice comment. Yes, that was the original Morey & Pettinato Rat Poison. This car is run by the son and grandson of the original team.
I have a Kenny Youngblood limited edition copy of Wild Willy in his AA/Fuel Altered. A gift from Smiley Smullins. I am getting ready to gift it to some deserving person. Someone who won’t turn around and sell it.
The altereds were around long before there were funny cars . They were way too Altered to fit in the stock or gasser classes , so they became their own class .
