A phoot I took of a young TJ Giddings hard on the gas in the Marty Johnson coilover sprint at Knoxville in 1983.

Great pic of a fan favorite. TJ had some great races with Randy Smith back in the day. He seemed to have a short career for such a talented guy. He appartentely still know how to wheel a sprint car. Heard he put on a good show at the Masters Classic. Missed it , had to work.

I think Tim Green had a coil over car for sometime when he drove for Bob Trostle.
