I just talked to Scott he said the car you are talking about is probably Pete Gerlings old car. Petes car also had a Lenko, Any one notice how far Scotts motor is set back in the magazine picture

Would Pete Gerling be related to a Nadine Gerling?

[ssl78]

Yes there is a connection. I just talked to Pete his car was highly modified. The rear end was tubbed and had a 9 inch the trans tunnel was reworked for the Lenko and had a full cage in it. The car would go mid 8s. Started life as a big block with A/C probably not the same car

Here is the car in the far lane at the grove

Petes race car is not the car in Question. Pete sold a rolling body that was a real L78 silver car. He had put yellow doors on it and painted it orange and sold it to Chuck Hansen. The car was a real L78 car it had the original blown up block when Pete bought it.

That’s the car! My friend bought the car from Chuck. It still has the yellow on the doors on it.

So next question. Does John Alder or a guy with a last name Strezo ring any bells.?.
