DMD pits 1962

There was a Crosley called Plum Nuts;
does anyone know who owned it?
Duane Lyerly gave me the answer -
It was owned by Axel Belio from
Ft. Dodge who moved to CA in the 60s.
Sept 2007 I'm told he is doing well in
the Southwest.

There was another Crosley wgn, Gold,
called Bandit. Can you tell me
Anything about this car or its owner?
It was at DMD in 1965.

Does anyone remember Robert Shaw who
was Editor of the Des Moines Dragger
Newsletter?

Ajax sold this rail to Howdy Williams in 58.

Dec 09= Ron Scheef, himself, has confirmed that this is him.


In 1964 there was a Blue 1958 Chevy that
had "Novotnys" painted on the side.
In 1966 there was about a 39 Ford that
had "Lean" painted on the side. Tommy
Shaw has identified the Ford as Wayne
Leon Larson's  (Ames Body shop owner).
Let me know if you know anything about
either of the above cars.

There was a Red 62-65 Nova from Davenport
with this painted on the back: A Cure for
HEMI roids.  It is the only car that went
across Meredith Drive and into the North
ditch, because its parachute wouldn't open.
Do you know who this was?  
Bill Dedman
thinks it might have been Bud Richter's
65 Nova.  I can't find what happened to
Bud and I haven't received a reply from
his driver Gary Bolger, after sending a
letter and trying to phone.  Can you
HELP?   thanks
