Ol' Yaller I early in the Balchowsky era, maybe 1956 or 1957.
Note spare tire "Continental kit". Does anyone know who's sitting
in the car?
Behind and partially hidden
is Jerry Austin's D-Type Jaguar.
The nose of Don Hulette's #204
Jaguar Special peeks into the frame at left.

| Ol Yaller I as the "Lioncage
Special". The first time I saw the car was at the prelims
for the first Pacific Grand Prix at Laguna Seca on October 22-23,
1960. Eric Hauser won Saturday's amateur main event for modified
cars. (Photo by Ron Cummings)
Below is Ol' Yaller I as it appears today. |

are apparent. Note the difference in the rollbars:
I'd hate to go on my head in the earliest version of the car shown in the
top photo.
Owner Mike Larkin has the car for sale. After he sells Ol' Yaller I, Mike's next project is the restoration of the "Sorrell Special", which burned at Riverside on March 4, 1962. |
