From Facebook

Dave and Denny, owners of D&D Speed Shop were the best people. I bought a lot of high performance and racing equipment from them and they sponsored my race car, Chevy II Much, back in the late 60s.

I raced at Peoria, Havana, Beardstown and Springfield race tracks.

You need to speak to Rick Gerth and show him the car he bought in July 1968.
