Ron, Someone should know who would have records,Maybe some of Laverne's family, sure would like to see that book , be an interesting read, solve a bunch of mysteries I would imagine. I know the 84 Nance 100" car I owned had a number on the backside of the motor plate tubing. What's up in Ohio?.

JD, when did you own an "84 Nance?
I agree, that list would be very cool to read,if there is one. There are still several out there.

Got it from a guy in Bixby,Ok. when Tulsa was doing away with the 100" cars and going to 2 Bar. Sprints , I think I gave $150 for it Chassis , Motor plates,body and panels and some other stuff Nerf Bars and Bumpers and stuff, I got it in the fall of 96 and ran it from 97 thru 99 at Lawton , OKC , had couple of people drive it for me , won a few races in it , good car had to hand make nearly all the hood as the hood that came with it was pretty much wore out, Was the last Big Fuel/Sprint cell I owned. Got pics of the car at Lawton and OKC we won some races at both places back in 99 in that car, Nance made a really nice 100" car that worked really well ,I sold the frame to a guy who lives by Jones,Ok. wished I would have kept it now but needed cash at the time and got rid of it then , had all the stuff for it Even had the original Rear T Arms that Nance made out of that Air Craft Material up in Wichita I believe at Cessna, Those Arms were great , if ya broke em ya could just weld em back together and usually they broke right by the Broce/splined area. I believe the car was an ex Tony Armstrong Ofixico Car #11 or that is what the top piece of the Wedge hood that the guy gave to me when I purchased the car from him.

The serial numbers were on the tube behind the motor plate, below the steering gear. The first 2 digits were the year of manufacture, followed by the order it was built that year. Started with 1, 2, 3 etc. Don't know anything about a book of buyers.

Book , Sheets or Disk I am sure there is some kind of records Nance kept somewhere on what he made and what he sold.

Maybe some of you have been contacted off line hopefully? Some of the Nance family have been known to visit the site. I guess the best one that I know (he is not family though) that might check in on the site is Dennis Dye of Wichita. He might know. I believe he might visit with Mrs Nance from time to time.
Back home in McPherson, KS finally!
