Bill Fales had this "F" Runabout that went like "JACK THE BEAR", but he had a small fuel tank...So, in order to make the four laps at DePUe, his "DECK RIDER" had to pour a one gallon Purex Bottle of fuel in the tank, in this picture, you can see that ride didn't quite get turned around in time for the corner....but they did get the fuel in and they did win the finals!!!!
