dont recall seeing this one here before.....ROCK,TREES,AND CHEF" as old broadway bob used to say.....

and what mid-1960's kid didnt build that great,detailed,Revell kit???

 

Olio as a kid I built a few of that car and with good reason, I got to ride around the pits at NY national speedway with Roy Cook (on right) in the B/GS car around 64/65. Doug asked his brother to warm the car up and having met both of them at Jack Merkels shop a few days before, Roy saw me standing there and said "hey Pat wanna go for a ride" well I had a grin from ear to ear. One story I will never forget.

Pat

 

when they stayed at our shop while out on tour...Dougs little brothers name was Ray

 

I thought it was Roy I know there is a Ray Cook. I'll have to check my brain cells. Except for the letter everything else is correct.

Pat

 

Ray Cook raced a modified on dirt.

 

Exactly the way I was at that age...
