Here is link to a podcast interview of Rock & Ginny Running. It's nearly an hour long.

For any who don't know, Rock Running ran a couple of quick Pontiacs, back in the '70's & early '80's. In '74, it was a '74 GTO. I've posted pics of it at Indy. At the end of that season, he sold it to Dave Pruden. Don't know what happened to it after that.

Then from 75 thru '82, he ran a '71 T-37. Both cars were named "Super Sleeper", which is a name one of his kids came up with, for a big '66 Cat they had earlier.

Rock won his 1st nat event in the T-37, as well as quite a few other races. He then sold it to Ken Shawver, who raced it for a while. Then it also belonged to Danny Ashley for a while, as well as at least one other guy. I think it's the same car that Don Turk races now.
