1973 Bristol – Wayne Gapp and Bill Jameson
The picture below is a fairly typical scene. My Dad (right) refers to Bill (left) as what the teams call today the ‘Crew Chief’. This image was taken by Kenneth Wilkins @ Bristol in 1973.
FYI – Kenny owns the ‘Country Shindig’ Maverick, one of my favorite non-Gapp & Roush cars.
Wayne Gapp over Ken Dondero – Thunder Valley 1976 Pro Stock match race
Dondero was driving for Jenkins at this point but later in the year would move over to drive for Gapp & Roush. Thanks to Tom Kasch for this scan.

Below is a picture that is part of video on YouTube. The first post of an image from the video can be found here.
Gapp and Roush 1973 Pinto – picture from Pomona
Tom Kasch has been scanning some photos and sending them along. This image was taken at nearly the same time as this classic image (just before I think). This photo was used in a Accel ad.
Gapp & Roush’s 1973 Ford Pinto For Sale
Cheap at any price.
This ad ran in April 1974 but I don’t know the publication.
Wayne Gapp and the ex-Barrie Pool Gapp and Roush Pinto
Wayne Gapp (far left, blue shirt) and the ex-Barrie Poole Pinto. This car was purchased and repainted into the livery you see below. Later destroyed in an accident in St. Louis.
The image itself was taken at Great Lakes Dragway in Union Grove, WI. It was published as part of compilation of images published on YouTube. The video contains a lot of other great images from the time period.
See the original video here.
The 351 Cleveland Head
Nice drawing of the Ford 351 Cleveland head. Posted here to show the original design of the head with the canted valves and, in particular, the design of the exhaust port.
ex-Barrie Poole Pinto in action
Sooner or later I’m going to get my act together and get all this stuff posted.
In the meantime enjoy some video of the ex-Barrie Poole Pinto vs. Sox Martin.
See it here on youtube.
