OK...here's a 2013 Vegas to Reno lineup, look at 1717 Jeepspeed- Age looks right, lists Castaic, CA as residence...

Anyone for a phone number and address?

According to this link:

That scrambler was a Jeepster commando frame with an Acme scrambler fiberglass body and one piece front end.

I believe that is correct, I seem to recall that at the 83 or 84 Mint 400 I saw this same jeep but with a commando body tub and 1 piece CJ snout, That was pretty common back in the day, commando guys putting CJ front sheet metal (or glass) on. IIRC Gadzooks was a racing club of sorts and ran several classes and shared pit and chase support, much like the Checkers did though Checkers didnt run anything, just was a cooperative pit and chase support group for independent or non supported racers. mostly volunteers initially. I do remember at the 1983 Frontier 500 race two or three 4cyl Scramblers being run in the stock mini pick up class (7s?), they didnt do well as I recall. When the MJs came along they were prohibited from running the 4.0 against the toyotas and rangers but did well against the class 3 'stock 4x4' class broncos and older CJs I'll look for my pics of that race and see if i have any of the scramblers photographed.
 
I just got a PM from the son of the original owner. I asked if he'd be willing to share the history. I'll keep everyone updated.
 
He already gave me a bunch of history, but he said he would post up the whole story either here or in a new thread!
