Sometimes they don't stay unknown! I received the following email on 1 Oct 2003. The photo of Jack Merkel vs. unknown Willys pick-up at 1967 Indy Nats. The unknown gasser was called THE CURTAIN DROPPER and was owned by Billy Maddox of Columbus, Ohio. He was a member of the TROTTERS HOT ROD CLUB. The car was driven by Charlie Bryant and I was a member of the crew that year. Billy built the car when he was 17 years old . I'm happy to say he still owns the car and it's fully restored. Billie is now 67 years old. Thanks Ed Sessley Thank you, Ed.

Well, it isn't unknown any more! As of 11 April 2002, Mike Lehet has identified it as Dennis Furmanchek's car. Dennis was runner-up to Bill Lindner in CC/GS this year. Here's what Mike wrote: Byron, I was going through your web site that Monty Warner has. The very last photo which is marked unknown is indeed Dennis Furmanchek's Willys. Please excuse my memory as I thought at the time the lettering was on the car but it was the following year. If you notice in the photo the Hilborn 2 port injectors on top of the 4-71 blower, this was Joe and Tom Hrudka's de-stroked 233 cu. in. motor. Something else that might be of interest, that motor was at one time in a C or B dragster owned Chuck Starkey from Westlake, Ohio. Mike Lehet You can find out more about that race here. Thanks again Mike.
