Bob Farris' Trike at Drome

 

Buck Pardue driving the second Yardstick Draperies car owned by Sally Hall the mother-in-law of Ray Crane. The other Yardstick car was driven by Ronnie Hargenshimer. When they asked Buck to drive this car he was driving Ozzies Goldstar figure eight Chevelle. Buck told Ozzie I should drive the Chevelle and I did for one week. First week I put it in the trophy dash was passing on the outside for the lead when the steering locked up. I think the tierod hit the frame from the body roll being on the outside. I hit the turn one wall but didn't hurt the car except for the bumper. In the feature I was running third and trying to pass first and second going towards the pit turn when a lapped car stalled in the intersection. First and second split. The car in front of me clipped the rear of the stalled car and drug it over in front of me and I had nowhere to go. Junk one chevelle. It was a fast car and Ozzie had a motor in it.

Does anyone Know if the Harold Murphy running at the Drome now is the same as the one that ran in the seventies and eighties at the Drome? He ran a Chevy truck frame with a Gremlin body. I think the Drome told him he couldn't build another like it after it was destroyed. They changed the rules to say automobile frames only.

Falconred, I don't know for sure about most of them. However, Garry Poindexter, at last word, was still around and working in Cincinnati. John Quinn passed away a few years back. Bill Desmond, I believe, is still around. Saw him at Bristol in 2002.

 

Sure looks like Ascot!

 

I think this is a crew member for Danny Blackwell. As I remember Danny ran the #36

All-Star that was Larry Murphy who ran in the 70's, Harold Murphy is currently running in dromer 8 at the Drome.
