Michael ,You didn't mention that Rick Wolfe was a jeweler/ watchmaker. "Time Flies"

LOL... yup. He also fixed my glasses several times when I was a kid. I somehow managed to break the nosepieces off them in gym class or something stupid, and Mr. Wolf would solder them back on. He had the first Wally I had ever seen -- a Class win trophy on display in his store. Claims that car has 16 street-driven miles on it - bought it new from BZ Motors in Lewisburg, PA.

A few others from bracket cars at Beaver Springs...
Timekeeper
Total Confusion
Buzzard Hunter
Blue, I Say, Blue By You (w/ Foghorn Leghorn)
Grey Hare (Bugs)
Hare Raising (Bugs)

Dick Butler....how bout Norm Reis's A/C car? Lickem' and Stickem. Then Dick Palochvich's 53 Chevy with Ford Power, Half Breed. Ohio George is still something. I got my start hanging out at his shop as a young kid. Still speak to him 3-4 times a year.

Buckshot II (dad purchased from Larry Lombardo).
King Cuda

Ronnie Smith Jr · 03-28-2008, 01:24 PM

Bryan, you forgot "Second Effort"...

One of Dad's earlier race cars was a 70 Camaro he ran in SS and Modified in the 70's named "The Hillbilly Flash".

Several cars from that era Bobby Baker named previously, ran at Riverside in Proctorville, OH and Kanawha Valley in Winfield, WV...back in the day. A few others I remember, "Almost Heaven" green 69 AMX, the Marshall Tucker Band cars made their treks through the area before and after they were bought from the band. Can't remember the name of the car; but a guy by the name of Joe Lemley (sp) ran a fastback Corvette in modified with a straight six. As a young kid growing up at the track, I loved those cars with the catchy names and slogans.

How about "Mama's Mink", Joe and Alice Tysinger.

Those were the days...

Did anyone mention the Sox & Martin cars with 'Lil Boss and The Boss Cuda's. Great thread by the way. Also remember the Bits & Pieces 4 door '60 Chevy of Kronenbitters from the Zanesville Oh area.
