that Ivan Little-Charlie Rudolph shot at Ransomville makes you realize how elevated that front straight is.  If you sit low on the front straight grandstands, you're almost looking up.

I think that's Harvey Hainer Jr. #2H behind Charlie and Ivan at Ransomville too.

This is a pic I took of my Cousin Jim Kings Modified in 1968 on his ramp truck. It was initially built to run on pavement and Jim drove it at Fulton a few times. He put my Dad, Norm Welty, in it for one of the open races at Waterloo (Maple Grove) but the car was sprung way too stiff or had too little shock as it bounced around almost uncontrolable and didn't qualify. I think it was very heavy by the look of the car and already a bit outdated when newly built.

Just realized that I accidentally said 1968 on the photo of Nolan Swift winning the Fair race. It's actually 1958! Sorry for the misinformation.
