Man, Heavy Sr. (last guy on the right) was one BIG dude!

Awesome scans Peter! By Heavy Sr., you mean Rufus's father? If so, he WAS a big boy. I know Rufus had a son (now deceased I think I read) nick-named "Heavy Jr." Do you know any of the others in the photo? I think that's Levi Holmes in the middle (the shorter fellow) and perhaps Carmen Rotonda standing fourth from the left?

For some reason or other this picture (below) is not showing up in a couple previous posts.

I believe the second guy from the left is Jim Carney, driver of Heavy's' Motion Camaro. Yes, that's Carmen R. 4th from left.

Tony Battaglia of Batt Autobody painted all of his cars except his Dick Harrell 70 Camaro.Talked to Tony Battaglia many times too,painted a lot of Motion cars for Joel Rosen.Tony says nothing but good things about "Heavy".Tony has some real wild stories,one I will mention in the near future. Dan

Where are the 'wild' stories??

So I am guessing the where-abouts of any of Heavy's cars are unknown.... ??

Is it known for sure if the HO 69 RS/SS demo Motion car is the same car that Heavy raced or was it a different car.
