The Weinberger Homes Special was built and driven by Johnny White a winner of many events during the 1962-64 season. The car was the winner at The Little 500 three times IMCA Champion in 1962 and 1963 numerous USCA races in 1964 won 56 consecutive races and was a world-record holder many times over. In 1962 ?63 and ?64 the Weinberger Homes car was billed as The fastest sprint car in the world the first of its kind in a sport that was dominated by the Offy dynasty. In 1964 White placed 4th in the Indy 500 and earned the title of Rookie of The Year. One week later in Terra Haute White got upside down trying to beat A.J. Foyts fast time and was paralyzed for the rest for his life. He would never race again. Months after Whites accident the Weinberger Homes car was back on the track breaking records and setting them. Gordon Johncock was the next exceptional racer to take the wheel. The ?Top Flight Ride? of the Special helped Johncock achieved a status received by very few. Making his second appearance in the car at Winchester on September 6 1964 Gordy shattered the world record qualifying at 17.21 in the Weinberger Chevrolet. Still determined to go faster Gordy requalified at 17.18 which is an average of 104.768 miles per hour. Once again the Weinberger Homes Special was the vehicle that helped the talented pilot fully realize his potential. The time of 17.18 was held for an astounding five years. In 1965 after countless victories and shattered world records the worlds fastest Sprint Car was retired as the sport moved to Indy cars. In 2004 42 years after the car was built a vintage racer and collector happened upon the Special and restored it to its present glory. Paying close attention to every detail over a 14-month period all of the aluminum hand-formed body was restored and it was brought back to the circuit and numerous races. This Sprint car is powered by a 327ci fuel-injected Chevrolet engine.
