I need this photo replaced it was lost somehow in cyberspace when I transferred the site a while back. I can't find it on my cds or floppies anywhere.

This Western Wheel Special 1x was driven by Ron Shuman in the mid 80's. Ron drove this at one of Shane Carson's (MARCAR) promoted outlaw races. Western Wheel's was also a sponsor of the race also, John relates.

James "Goggles" Gillispie with the last Jackie Howerton built 100" Champ Dirt Car at Tulsa in the 82 era.
James drove this car with appearances in the car by Jackie Howerton and also Terry Doss and Ron Shuman (during an off weekend with the WoO).
Although James didn't manage to get any real great finishes in the car. Jackie won an A Feature in his 2nd appearance in it. Terry also managed some good finishes.
On a side note this car is still owned by James.
I guess James has either thought about turning into a street rod of freshing it up and making some vintage meets.
Lets hope he chooses the latter. As this car being a Howerton Chassis definitely has some historic value, let alone it is 100" car on its own merits.
I'm sure the phone might be ringing at Jame's house now.
