Mountain view dragway was in Wind Gap PA. Was told about the crash around 1993 by a fellow that was there when it happened. Don't know what year it was wrecked, Wish I could go back in time and ask more about it but at the time figured it was just a bunch of BS

This Decal was from Mattingly Automotive in Greenfield Indiana. Mattingly Automotive was owned by John Mattingly. John was a prominent engine builder in the Indianapolis area. He built many motors for Drag cars and Stock cars in the Indy area. He built the motor for the "Motivation" Yenko camaro. We have been in contact with his family to see if we can get a clearer picture of there old logo and hopefully more pictures of the 'Motivation" Camaro. John passed away in 2013.

I thought you’d like to see another Indiananapolis based car with the Mattingly connection, more prominent here on the MP Shakin All Over Camaro.

A little diversion but that red 68 MP back halfed car was later turned into a D/Gas car with full chassis. Thought you’d like this shot.
