Description
I was lucky enough to see and shoot Bill "Maverick" Golden's Little Red Wagon in the mid 60s at Neita Raceway in Cedar Falls Iowa. My father worked at the track and I got to see so many of the wheel standing legends like the LA Dart, The Backup Pickup, and the world famous Hemi Under Glass. When I wasn't selling drinks in the stands I was taking photos with my 620 box camera. I wish I could find more of these old negatives, sure brings back great memories.

Awesome. My father took some 8mm movies at Neita in the late 60's but they were lost in our move from Cedar Falls.

Thanks Christopher, As a kid I had a great time at the raceway working and goofing around!

Great classic, Mike! I have pics from another wheelstander modeled after the 'Little Red Wagon'. I took them at 'The Rock' in N.C. at a Pinks all out event. Problem is, I cant seem to find the card or backup disc, and I lost the files on a crashed (and burn!) hard drive.

Love it Mike! I've seen both this truck and the Hemi Under Glass perform at the tracks near me back in the day.
