Bobby Bottcher maybe, but not Bobby Hauer

Hauer ran an orange coupe at Reading, Bottcher ran this at Middletown, if I recall . . .

 

Yup! That was me! I said LANGHORNE!

Is it just me?...but when I see a yellow #5 coach, I instantly think Ray Tilley!

Dr. John,

An interesting note (that you prolly already know) on the 02 coupe of Vern Pangrazio is that it is the former T.K. McKlean coupe in which Geoff Bodine got his (Modified)start.

 

hey update comp is almost done, probably getting it friday, so till then....Dr.John keep up the good work!

 

The 666 had a rough life and a sad ending.

 

Well the computer is back!!!! SO ARE PHOTOS!!!!!!!!YEAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

Hey...I like that Valiant Stocker...don't remember seeing many of those!

 

I love seventies modifieds, they were called hot rods here in Australia and in the Newcastle area where I grew up we had a bunch of 'em. I can't find one decent picture of them on the internet though, we don't have too many history pages of Australian speedway (except this one http://picasaweb.google.com/dgnb69), there's one but it barely touches on my areas great cars from that era.

 

I love the last Evans photo you have there, awesome stuff!
