The 22 car looks very similar but doesn't appear to be a turbo. (front bumper)

That's cool thanks for the link, the pile of tires gives it away! Funny that the track pretty much looks the same 30 years later, or at least it did the last time I was there.

Do you still have the car serviced by Eric Steinel?

I have one the 87 Escort cars, and it spent most of it's life in Ohio until I bought it in 2010, and Steinel did most of the work on it up to that point.
