OKC-75-Doss.jpg (23066 bytes) Oklahoma City car owner Larry Nalon's super driven by Terry Doss, son in law of driver Evard Humphrey, Larry's former driver.  Larry designed this car and Jack Walker fabricated it, a unique feature of the chassis was the top frame rails where spread wider apart than the bottom frame rails.  Larry also built his own motors. Here's a great Larry Nalon story, Larry was pretty vocal about the idea of putting mufflers on the supers, during a mid-week muffler test, while watching a couple of cars go around the track at racing speeds, Larry calmly turned to the group standing there close by and commented,  "this is about as exciting as kissing your sister".

OKC-75-Scott.jpg (22708 bytes) Steve Scott's pretty two tone blue super. Steve is the son of former super driver Gene Scott. I never asked, but from the looks of the numbers Steve must have been a fan of Kansas driver Davey Ross.
