Received 7 Feb 05: Love your site .I just wanted to let you know who the unknown Willys is in the the pictures by Monty Warner of the 66 Indy National Dave Rudy vs. Unknown Willys. The unknown Willys is the See eyes Gone car owned by Gerald Nix and David Green. I own the Car and have met with Gerald Nix. He gave me all these great pictures and history of the car. We are starting restoration on this car and plan on restoring back to how it was raced in the 60's.This car won the B gas class race in 1965 @ the Nascar Nationals.I have attached some pictures and articles Gerald Nix give to me. He told me he had David Green (the Father of the Green boys that race in NASCAR) Drive professionally for him and owned the car for a year down in Florida. I would love to see my pictures on you site. I will send them to you in a separate Email. Thanks Mike Frank |

Received 21 August 2005 First of all I'd like to commend you on your website, keep doing what your doing, nostalgia racing keeps the memory, & the legend of these great race cars & the individuals who made it happen alive. The car racing Mr. Hurst is indeed the legendary Powell's Service Center sponsored "Golden Angel" from Louisville, Ky. I would like to set the record straight, concerning the common type "O" in reference to the drivers name which haunted him in news, Magazine, and National dragster clips for his entire racing career which spanned over a decade and a half. This car was owned at the time by Ed Payne, and my father Henry Putman drove and was primary wrench on the car. It was a popular Midwestern Match Race car built by Mr. Putman and a friend and later sold to Ed. It was runner-up at 1963 U.S. Nationals in A/Gas, and Class & Eliminator winner 1964 Winter Nats. Daytona Bch, Fla. Mr. Bill Caughron of Louisville, KY has recently built an outstanding nostalgia replica of this hard charging "Gasser". Sincerely Gary Putman Thanks Gary. Love to get good info on these cars! |
