Its my understanding that the first Winged Express car was made out of .049 inch exhaust tubing. The local Tech Inspectors were only looking for a three-point safety harness and fire bib for the driver.

Can anyone confirm this?

Feel free to chime in.....

Does anyone have the picture of Willie going through the lights at Lions or Irwindale with the front tires off the ground and the rear tires smoking?
