ANY information would be greatly appreciated.

Further research with help from Rob Potter and Jim Sorenson comes the following information on Super442:

Campaigned for a short time in the Chicago area and was owned/driven by Herman Lesmeister. Powered by a 392 hemi. Herman received some help from Austin Coil on the car. Then comes this. From the November 1971 edition of Popular Hot Rod:

"One of the most spectacular accidents in funny car racing occurred in the first round when Herm Lesmeister's Super442 went into a series of wild gyrations near the finish line, went off the track, climbed a telephone pole, flipped and came to rest right side up. Thanks to the Farkonas chassis, Herm received only minor injuries, but his $14,000 race car was completely destroyed."

This happened at the 1971 Popular Hot Rod meet at US 131 Dragway in Martin, MI.

Oh well, so much for the dream of finding this car languishing in a barn somewhere. Just waiting to be restored. Never the less, I am still very interested in any further information, photos, recollections, etc. regarding this car that anybody may have. We will gladly post anything you have to share about the Super442.
