Comments: Comments provided by Russ:  This William Curley photo taken at Vineland Speedway shows Wally Dallenbach and race fan Carol Comfort. This is the Dick Barney # 14, Olds powered Mr. "POPS" X - Torsion Special. The beautiful red coupe carried Wally to 14 feature events at Vineland Speedway in 1963. As with all Barney race cars, which I believe have accumulated over 500 feature wins, it was the finest of the day! Thanks, Russ Dodge

05/24/03 Jim Murrow Nice picture, Russ, - This was, indeed quite a famous race car ! Wally was the picture perfect race driver, smooth as silk, and always focused. It was a pleasure to watch him click off perfect laps, and, seemingly, effortlessly cruise to the point in this car. I don't recall for certain, but this may have been the last modified that Wally drove regularly, before following the "Yellow Brick Road", (and his ream), to the red bricks of the Indianapolis 500. Wally enjoyed a long and successful career as an Indy car driver, followed by many years as the highly respected Chief Stewart of CART ! By the way, to the best of my knowledge, Wally Sr. never raced while wearing Victoria's Secret ladies panties, as his son, Wally Jr. did... but, of course, I never actually looked.
