Default Re: For all you Jr. Stocker lovers

Forrest Shropshire's name is on the side of this car, he was a racer from Cartersville, Georgia that passed away a few years ago. He had a large collection of fifties Chevies and I think most were sold at auction. He ran stock eliminator in the 60's and 70's and was mainly known for his "Milk Crate"'56 225HP wagon. Forrest was very competitive and he and Bruce Wilkinson had the fastest wagons in this part of the country. In later years he ran alot of Super Chevy events and also competed at Bonneville with a '57 Vette. Forrest was a great guy and if I remember correctly he and Linda Vaughn were from the same area and knew each other well.

Jimmy, if im not mistaken his place is off 411 going to interstate 75 coming from Rome, GA. I go that way to Atlanta. There are still a few rusty cars sitting there when we went by Friday going to Atlanta. Probably been sitting there for a while. Reason I noticed this place is one thing the cars, but he took a house next to his and made a shop in the basement...Never stop to meet the guy, but have been by there for a lot of years...Jimmy, wonder, is this the same guy you are talking about?
