I believe it was Winterport. Supposedly he drove it to the track, ran it whatever class he was in, and drove home. The seller claimed it did 88-90mph in the 1/8th way back in the day, which was respectable for the time period, especially with its air shocks and cheap traction bars, with 295-50s out back.
