I saw that. I was at Moss corner. He just idled by us, but you could hear that thing all over the track. Do you remember, King Richard was on the pole for that race in a Monte Carlo, ( the car looked like it was painted with a mop, threw a screen door) Do you recall whose car that was?

Jean Paul Cabana owned the car. Richard was the outside pole and he went off in turn two very early in the race maybe even the first lap. The pole sitter was Bobby Allison who went on to win the race in one of his Camaros.

It didn't take much convincing my dad to take me to a race when I was growing up but there are some big gaps in the mid to late 80s and 90s where I hardly went to any races at all. I have a bunch of things up on a Fotki site: www.fotki.com/RodM

I've been to your site many times before. Hours of fun

Found it through Canadian Racer. I recognise a lot of the names from my youth but the faces are fuzzy. Funny how that happens $:-\$

By the way. I posted better pictures of my Uncles cars over in the Sunset HOF thread, page 3. You had thought the Corvair was a rebody from a car you have a picture of on your site. Take another look and see what you think.

I was actually on my way over to say hi on Saturday and at that very moment my car pulled in. Maybe I'll have some time this weekend.

Look forward to seeing your Mosport pics, I've only got a few Instamatic type shots. It was the summer before I bought myself a camera. Here is Beck getting out of his car after the burnout.

ernie: Glad you like the site. I found another pic of the John Mason Corvair in a scrapbook and posted it over on the Sunset thread. Take a look and see what you think

My name is Regi, and My hubby drives the #3 Enduro car. This is our third year, and to date the most fun we've had. Last year leaves something to be desired, as we went through 3 cars in the first 3 races, but that is water under the bridge

this year we have the best car we've ever had, but have had no luck to fuel it

Maybe this Friday at the challenge will be the change we need. Looking forward to learning new stuff off of this forum

My name is Craig Zurbrigg
I've been racing late models for 22 years on a very tight budget
In the early 70's Ken McIlroy raced the #4 Mustang for my father Wayne
I bought that car out of a scrap yard to start racing at Sauble and Varney in 1987
I also sat in the stands at Delaware as a kid and remember most of the names in other posts, and remember the car flipping and knocking down the string of lights
I'm sure dad would love to talk to anyone about that era next time I'm racing there, he still has never missed a race I've been in
Please stop by and introduce yourself, probably Laborday weekend

Heya Racerwife, thanks for coming around. Well make sure to root for the 3 car this weekend!

And Zoom, welcome. Off the top of my head, you drive the white 4 car and you were there at the Partsource race right? Welcome to the boards! Always great to have aniother racer on board. You guys run primarily Flammy don't you?

Its impossible for me to forget that 4 Mustang that Ken Mcllroy drove...growing up, whenever we say that kind of car on the street, my Dad would say "there goes a Mcllroy Mustang" I still think of them like that.

Hi Craig: I didn't know about your connection with Ken McIlroy and had been trying to remember who it was that owned that car. Was your dad also involved in the previous #04 Mustang?

This was from the 1970 season and it is an earlier body (67?) and lighter orange than the #4. I remember at invitationals in Barrie and from the pages in Wheelspin. The later one ran all over the place.
