Good looking team. I used to ride to the races in a pickup towing a 48 Ford Coupe with a towbar when I was around 4 or 5 so this really brought back some memories. Big Mike |

no fancy haulers back in those days!! the guy who owned the jalopy, a 40 Ford coupe) that I was alowed to drive was a farmer who loved racing, he was a cripple and couldn't drive a race car however he could drive a tractor like a demon, he used his hay wagon to haul the car to the track for me to drive I was young and small and Joe Rasburn was a pretty good fabricator and had fashoned a curved accelator rod and clutch and brake rods that allowed me to use the gas pedal clutch and brake. he had also modified the seat so that I could see (Just barely) out of the windsheld opening. ![]() liilsquirt 4rr |
