Comments: Thank you vault visitors for once again coming through with one of the most remembered cars of the 70's.  This car was just flat out fast!  Kenny Weld built inspired, Sonny Dornberger powered and driven by Billy Osmun!  (It's very sad that both Kenny and Sonny are no longer with us, but their efforts are legendary to our sport and we hope that all of the vault visitors take every opportunity they get to find out more about both.)

02/08/03 Dave Walter Correct me if I am wrong. But I believe this was a Sonny Dornberger built Copy of the Weld car. I don't believe it was a Kenny Weld car. Me Me DeSantis also drove this car.
02/21/03 Dave Spurlin I think you're right... it was a copy.
03/02/03 Don C You're right  - it was a Weld copy with a few extras.  Sonny always said we out welded weld!
07/06/03 Ned Stites III I went to Sonny's shop one day to see this car and Sonny treated me like a VIP. He even took the panels off to show me the construction of the car. He pointed out the differences from Kenny Weld's chassis. I'll never forget the warm welcome I received there. He even answered questions about Otto Harwi, another favorite of my father and I. I was deeply saddened upon hearing of his passing. He was a real ambassador of the sport.
