The Bivins team at Sedalia, MO for the 1 mile dirt race.
Mike informs me this. The picture was taken during the 1971 Missouri State Fair. This was the annual I.M.C.A. race on the mile, 100 miles on dirt. Terry qualified 6th quick, they inverted the first 6, Terry started on pole. David Goldsberry on the outside Terry lasted 40 laps and blew a head gasket. The engine was a 440" big block with open chambered aluminum heads. This was the first time out for the car.
