My Austin American (correct name) has been legal since 1970 in Gas/Fuel Roadster even tho the rules were changed 4 time to eliminate it. The Dees car was made illegal for the length of the hood after a few years. He then ran it as a modified. I had the body after his death and now Jim Lattin has it. Due to the "spare tire" being filled in, it probably would not be legal in any class today.
Amo Beard has a modified Austin, The Goldmans have one very similar to mine, and the Hudson Boy's have made one into a rear engine modified roadster. One from the past was Dave Kostella's which ran as a gas /fuel at the begining but set records as a Modified. Nearly everyone has put someone in the 200 MHH Club
One from the far past was Meb Healy's which was mounted on a Chevrolet frame and ran the Chev 6 with Chuck Potvin doing the driving. It was the first one to use a 32 Ford grille shell......My Hero......................JD
