The #38 pictured is NOT Jerry Cook but was in fact, Kenny Meahl out of East Amherst, NY. Meahl drove Cook's car until Cook was old enough to get a Nascar license to compete.

 

So, Buildy, Mr Excite, JHed82, and Vintage61 ; Do you guys know the story behind the rollover of the #222 that is shown in three of those photos in posts 4369 and 4414? There are a lot of concerned faces in the pics, but I see a driver being guided away from the scene in one photo. Hopefully that was the driver and he walked away. There is some nasty damage there to the windscreen and car.

Is the Evans pic from Thompson ? I remember Evans and Bodine putting wings on their modifieds and running with the supers. I think it was in the World Series event.

I don't mean to hijack this great thread, but I have this old mod that came out of Pa. some years ago. The International truck hood, Ford 360, red paint job, racing seat, and steering wheel did not come with the car when it was brought from Pa. It has knee action front shocks which seems odd for the car. I can also see that some of the front bars from the dash area to the front were cut off as was a hoop behind the driver on the cage. The front spring is also two springs with seperate pivots in the middle of the crossmember. The car appears to have been painted yellow in years past. Any info on this car would truly be appreciated.

 

can't believe this guy hijacked this thread! hahaha man it's all good, thanks for sharing the photos, I hope we can get some info or if you do, I hope you keep us updated! Any plans to rebuild it as an old style mod?
