The history goes as one of three 84" w/b cars Floyd built.The Cubics had one and my memory fails me on the third short car. Named 'Snoopy', Chuck...
We went to the Reading Fairgrounds Reunion show where the car was displayed, hence I read the info about the car, and the drivers. Yes, Dick...
I believe the #3 Vargo car was originaly a midget, stretched to a sprint car by Ken Hickey. Perhaps Hickey did the parallel bar set-up? I'm sure...

Squablow is correct, unless you find a donor car (unlikely) fab them yourself. Heres a link to an AMC site you might find useful. Good luck!...
Can't say how many times I'm asked if my AMC has the Buick 401, Ford 390, Dodge 360, or the old Rambler 327 is really a Chevy, right? My answer is...
Yes Rich the silo is a dead giveaway., Nazareth 1/2 mile for sure. I normally wouldn't argue with you fuel pump, but, I grew up going to and...
I just noticed the photo of the #3 (post 11452) isn't at Williams Grove, I'd say its the Nazareth 1/2 mile.
The #3 has a Chevy in it, not Scats' Highway car without a Ford and the driver doesn't have Wentz, Sr.'s build, Bill is taller and thinner.
Hey Steve. Have you noticed the Rasmussen car in Al's photo doesn't have knockoff hubs? Any idea of the year the 88 was at Reading, my dad didn't...
Looks like Boom Boom had a case of stripped pitman arm serations in the first two pics in post #10634
Thanks for the photos of Toby. Many good memories of a great guy and pretty fair racer, too. We were racing at Selinsgrove when we heard of his...
You are welcome Billy. I should have added that the shot is from Westboro, Mass. 1971 or'72. IIRC the 38 was owned by one of the Boyds. I don't...
I'll add two more from Ken Felker of the Willys powered car at Williams Grove... [IMG] [IMG]
Heres one for racerbillyc..... [IMG]
Thanks again, Rich. Look at the last shot in the first group. The car with the bolt-on downtubes looks like it has a flat R.R. Is that George...
Hi racerbilly. I have a priceless memory of your dad. I drove my dad's Holmquist roadster TQ only 1 time, on dirt at Grandview. Your dad gave me...
For RABs32, a photo of my dad's Trevis in URC action, 1975. My first start, 24th to 12th. That is Chuck Ciprich in the Camperland 17. [IMG]
Hi, Rich. Stover and dad ran URC and some Pa. races starting in '73 and till mid '75 when Jerry quit. Bill Wentz,Jr. took over the wheel after...
Is Lauden Potts in Geo. Nessler's car? I don't have a guess for the #36. Thanks for posting RABS. Do you have any URC pics of Jerry Stover in my...
I finally dugup the after pics of Busson's Reading USAC crash. The chassis was badly broken as evident looking at the cage. Karl was very lucky......
Another thanks Josh. Is that Jerry Wall's Yellow Jacket rear engine midget waiting for resto? Never mind, I looked at my pics of Wall's car...
Rootie it could be '63, going though these slides they get mixed together. In any case, they are cool history. Thanks for helping to correct my...
This photo of Ken Felker's realy has me rubbing my head. I know its from the first race at Pocono on the 3/4 mile track. I think it could be Troy...
As almost always, Rootie is correct, the Trenton pics are from '62. Here are some more from that day.... [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Started sorting through old slides from the Ken Felker collection. Ken took all of these as an amature photog. As you can see he got around, and...
Here are 4 Ken Felker pics from Pocono 3/4 mile track. I wonder if anyone can give me any info about the Troy Ruttman, Jr. fatal crash at Pocono...
