What kind of car was Ken running at that event?? It would be GREAT to see a picture!!!

I gave Ken a copy of this flier at VF. I think Tommy K and Joe Swezey were standing there at the time. He recalled every name and described each car on the list. Seems like he said he was running his C/G '55 Chevy at the time.

Even the people who know Mr. Barnhart well may not realize how deep this guy goes........

I know most of the names on the list........Interesting fact about Colson and Wood.....as I remember, they developed the Reverser for Dragsters a couple of years later........."Quote"

After thinking about it some more......I think it was Powers and Riley that had the first Reverser.........Anyone have any more info....
