Salt Walther GT 40 Found

As posted by Road and Track Magazine in February. A rare Ford GT 40 was discovered in a garage in California with Salt's name on the side of it. This is a really cool discovery, to bad the reporter didn't know much facts about Salt claiming he had little success in his racing career. And then went on to discuss his incarceration period finally claiming that Salt died shortly after being apprehended by the police. Not true... Wow, it appears anybody can be a writer/reporter now days.

Salt was the only racer to have raced champ cars, NASCAR and Unlimited Hydroplanes. He was the 1968 Calvert Cup Unlimited Hydroplane winner, 64 champ car starts, 16 top ten finishes, 3rd row qualifier at Indy and a 9th place finish at Indy in 1976.
