A very rare photo of the Atlanta
Speed Shop "Zot IV" fueler's right side. It was always
the left side of the car that was photographed 'cause that was
the side that had "Atlanta Speed Shop" lettered on
it. The reason for the "Honest Charley of Atlanta"
being lettered on the right side was that at that time the Atlanta
Speed Shop was an Atlanta area retailer for Honest Charley Speed
Shop parts.
The car was an ex-Ivo car that
had a redone front half and a Julius Hughes built 392. After
Julius retired from being a driver, "Digger" Don Dixon
became the driver. The car was doing well in Division II NHRA
competition until it was demolished in a crash at the Miami-Hollywood
Motorsports Park in 1971.
