Looking for pictures of a Champ S-18
I know they were raced in the 60s ad 70s and built by Charles Gagliardo.
There were some withV-drives and I/Os. Looking for any or all info on them.
I can't find anything so far, someone out there has got to have something I hope.

I wish there were those kinda class's around now and it must have been a blast at the Marine Stadium running those around there. There has to be some good pics around somewhere of those times.
