Below is a picture of the 1973 Gapp & Roush Pinto sometime in 1973 I believe. This picture came from Facebook and though I don’t know author I thank that person.

1976 Gapp & Roush Pinto at Bristol
Nice 3/4 shot of the 1976 Pro Stock Ford Pinto at Bristol. This is another image provided by Kenneth Wilkins. See the other here.

Another image by Denis Scott. See a similar image from the set here.
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.
Denis Scott photo of Wayne Gapp
It looks like it was a cold rainy day when this photo was taken in early 1973.
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.
Wayne Gapp @ Union Grove, 1973
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 & Roush’s 1973 Ford Pinto For Sale
Cheap at any price.
This ad ran in April 1974 but I don’t know the publication.

Gapp and Roush get a new car…and driver.
Been awhile since I posted. Almost two months. Busy, busy, busy.
Here’s a bit of information that I got from the Facebook Nostalgia Pro Stock group (via Dan Williams via Angel Cordero). It comes from the December 1976 issue of Car Craft’s ‘Straight Scoop’ column.
FILLING THE GAPP.
The Gapp and Roush Pro Stock team has several new acquisitions. First is the 1977 Pinto, complete with the aerodynamic shovel nose, for use in the new season. And to go along with the new car, they have a new operator: Ken Dondero, formerly associated with Dyno Don and Team Jenkins, has replaced Wayne behind the wheel. With both Gapp and Roush free to concentrate on engine development, and with the possibility of a less punitive weight break next season, the blue and white Pinto may reappear in the winner’s circle.
