That was Dennis Currington. You can find pictures of the car at
<http://classicracingphotos.com/Gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=11480>,
fourth row of pictures.

While a rear wheel didn't survive the landing after he launched the
car on one of the turns, the top stayed on just fine :-)

Dennis passed away just over a year ago, I believe on 01-Dec-2009   :-(
