Just prior to the drivers meeting the Simon brothers came to me & offerred their best prop as Chuck hadn't qualified. I received permission to take a one lap test & did & on the speedo was faster then my "B" Looper, so decided to use it. Couldn't pull on a plane for the 1st heat, and we didn't do doughnuts at that time either. Luckily the 1st heat was re-run as there were too many gun jumpers, but myself & a few others jumped the restart. I did finish 2nd in the 2nd heat to Bob Olson using my RA Smith wheel.
