Bill was the manager of the Huntsville, AL based "Woodward Garage", where the #88 Daytona and Engineering SuperBird were based for testing in 1969 - 70.

I feel that historic archives should be shared. Get's the facts out there...
File cabinets full of great materials are a waste!!!!!

There will be more on line in the New Year.
Ken Noffsinger deserves ALL the praise. He's the guy that got it all scanned and on line.

MORE INFO on wing cars, trans am, and drag cars that the Woodward garage worked on.

http://www.billwrightdocumentarchive.com/TableOfContents.htm

Nice pic of the Woodward Garage SuperBird doing laps at the Huntsville airport.
Same place as DC-93 ran tests with the prototype wing in 69, prior to any wings being produced.
Info on that wing is on aerowarriors.com also.
I took it to the MoPar Nats in 1997. Man time flies...
