Carguy49, I don`t recall the Chevy 11 wagon owners last name, but the car had "Quick Nick" on the doors, and when Al Chinn first bought the car,he had the lettering changed to |"Quick Kick". Don`t know if you recall, but before that, abound 1980, Chinn raced a yellow first gen. Camaro sponsoered by Pepsi, called the "Pepsi Challange". Also around that time, the 10.90 class started, called "Jr.Gas", remember that? As a Ford guy, some of the Ford cars I followed were Gene Bergstroms 65 Falcon, Leroy Greys 67 Fairlane and later, 67 Falcon, Paul Neros "Fiddler 5" Falcon, Bill Rusbolts "Gladiator" Falcon and Pinto, the Hawthorne Bros Ranchero, Mustang, and Pinto (all sticks!) Don DeVitos stick Maverick, "Dr". John Bertoldis Falcon, Dave Bliss` flying SB ford stick Falcon and ex Pro Stock Pinto and T Bird, Darwin Glassers real 64 Galaxie 427 `lightweight`, and several others.

Danny, Jwayads Mercedes was red, and last time I saw it at SIR/Pacific, was with Steve Ellis driving it, 5 or 10 years ago. Steve even ran it in Super Shifter one weekend at Mission.

Photo 1: Leroy's "Grey & Kimmel Fairlane along side the "Lindberg Affair" Camaro.
Photo 2: Leroy's Falcon on an early outing,, thats Leroy in front of the car.
Photo 3: Leroy making a shake down run later that evening.
Photo 4: John Bertoldi's Falcon with the flames and those gold Super Trick wheels.
Photo 5: Dave and Pat Bliss' "buzz it & dump it" Falcon.
Photo 6: Just for kicks Rory, I thought maybe you might know this '66 Nova(Acadian?), since it was sponsored by Kerrisdale Speed Centre.
Take care, Rory,, it was fun digging these out.

Danny, Maurice is correct, the silver Nova belonged to John Graham, who is the same guy who bought Dick Foxs 56 Chev. The Nova is still racing at Mission, and has been white for many years. And I am sure that you are aware that the blue tube chassis Falcon that runs at Bremerton, is the ex Dave Bliss, ex Don Devito car you posted from Seattle from the 80s.
Danny, do you have any shots of the old black `BarBEERian`67 Mustang coupe Stocker that used to run at Bremerton and SIR in the early 80s.the BIG DYNO S/S 63 or 64 Plymouth,a white and red S/S 67 Hemi Coronet, or any of the local Modified Compacts of the late 70s-early 80s, like the Hitchcock and Ball AA/MC turbo Pinto, Dave Wrens D/MC Plymouth Arrow, the Sonic Muffin VW Bug, or any of the LOuD Mazdas. Terry Hoards Samaurai Warrior RX4 was well known, but before the RX4, Hoard raced a R100, I also remember a silver R100, and a yellow RX2 from the Northwest.

Rory,, I remember all those cars you mentioned,, but I'll admit, I didn't know about Dave's Falcon becoming the blue tube framed car you're referring to. I haven't seen Dave for quite a while, but I run into Don DeVito occasionly,, I also remember his stick Maverick.
As far as the Modified/Compact cars go, I knew I had a shot of Jim Sibley's VW, photo 1, from S.I.R. in '73, but I actually found a piece of the "Sonic Muffin", photo 2, in a shot from Ontario Motor Speedway in '74,, and a shot of one of Terry Hoard's earlier cars in the burnout box, photo 3, at S.I.R., from I believe '76.
Since we were talking about Falcons earlier,, I found a more recent shot of one at Bremerton,,, perhaps you know this one, in photo 4. Take care.

Also in the 2nd photo, there is a rear section of Jim Waldos 67 Fairlane behind the motorcycle. I have a couple of shots of Waldos car wearing those same aluminum slotted wheels, from Mission in, I believe 1975. I think we need to compare our old photo albums wnen I come down to Bremerton this year. What do you think?
