    Sure thing I would love to see some. Oval track and road race would be great. Did Butch drive a rear engine car with a turbo charged Volkswagen engine for about one season. I think the car was black and no. 24 and owned by Carroll Cheek. Also do you know anything about Butch and Cheek preparing a car for an attempt to run the Indy 500. Some friends of mine were renting a shop space in a business center off of Campbell Road and Cheek was renting shop space across the street. My friend was an engine builder after finishing his day job and one day someone from Cheek's shop came over and invited him and a couple of friends who where there to come over and see the  car and talk racing. I believe Cheek was unable to secure proper funding for the venture and that ended their hope of going  to Indy.

    I'll ask him, him and Cheek go way back.
