On the 62 Ault-James Biscayne, the racing exhaust was still on the car. It had straight tubing from the Mickey Thompson fender well headers to just past the rearend housing. The owner of the car said that was the rules then.
I'll see if I can find a picture.

And that dirt track just closed last october after 66 years -- I'm assuming it was the I-30 speedway.The Little Rock drag strip was in Benton Ark. Dad made numerous trips to this track after this race. The owner of the track would give Dad tow money to come up. On one trip the track owner who also owned the dirt track in Little Rock talked Dad into making a few laps in the dirt on Saturday night and of course the announcer was talking up the drag races on Sunday the next day.
A little update. I worked with Gene, actually bought a car from him. He lived in Ft Worth, Texas. He did “totally consume” Dick Harrell’s car. Hayden sold his car to Clyde McKnight and Gene did get the aluminum from that car. I ended up with all that aluminum.It was put on the street with a steel nose and 327 4-speed around 1966-67. Rumored it ended up with Eugene Brown in Houston. He beat the hell out of the Hayden Proffit’s and Dick Harrell’s car and scrapped both bodies and saved the aluminum.
