There was another Joe Szabo out East who either raced or sponsored a front engine rail back in the day, but not the same person.

I have discovered a bit more info about the car at the Vette/Fest.

While at the Vette Fest on display, One of the Midwest Gasser members saw the car and said that he hadn't seen it since the '60s, when he raced against it.

He asked if I was aware that the car was originally a White car? I told him that the original color appears to have been Gold, but that the whole car did have a white paint job over the Gold.

He also informed me that it was not a Mechanic at Nickey who had built and raced the car before Szabo, but a parts counter man, named Ron

Bruce Larson's PR guy, who stopped by to look it over said that he too recognized the car and thought he might have some pics of it from back in the day.

He said that he remembered it because it was one of the first Midwest area Gassers to have such a deep engine set back.

Scully spends his winters in Palm Springs and summers in Palatine. He is still alive and kicking.
