Ever heard of the Press On Regardless Rally? At one time, part of the FIA, and George Henderson won it in 1972 in a Jeep Wagoneer


they put four-wheel-drive at the top of the podium for the first time ever in a professional rally.

In the early ‘60s, Henderson had already got sponsored rides, including driving for Mercedes-Benz. He even went along to navigate with Scott Harvey when he took the factory Plymouth rally team to Monte Carlo Rally in 1964, where the duo finished third in their class.

n 1974, On Halloween eve 1974, with the kids of the town out trick or treating, one of the Lancia Stratos did a massive burnout on the main drag of the town of Felch and hauls through town, which caught the attention of the Sheriff of Dickinson County ,” Layton says. “The sheriff went to the next stage of the rally, set up a roadblock, and asked all of the teams to leave his county.” As a result, a majority of the stages had to be scratched









do you remember when polish jokes were all the rage, I think they were brought on by All In The Family's main character Archie Bunker
