Features VINTAGE SPRINT CAR PIC THREAD, 1965 and older only please.

Is Marvin Jenkins still alive? He drove the Novi that Frank Kurtis enclosed to Class D records at Bonneville.
Speaking of which, does anyone have any photos of this car?

 

Here we go!, I'm back from the Temper Tantrum Rehab Center, heres a few from Reading, Enjoy.....Rich

 

Yes !!!! welcome back

 

It feels good to be out of rehab!....Rich

 

Thank you. You have every right to be pissed, but we are glad you are over it. Now, get even!!

 

Welcome back Rabs!!!

Thumbs up!


I love that shot of Car #19-#73-#68!


Car #1 has it hanging all the way out!

Who is that? Pancho?

 

Don't let the bastards get you down.

 

Same here!

 

The #1 looks like the car Dickson usually drove. Besides its a 4- bar.

 

That`s true Spike-Pancho drove a springer.

What is odd is in 74 at Reading I have Rollie Beale in the Kilman #1 and no mention of Dickson at any of the 3 reading USAC races.

 

Man!!! Don't be so generous with the resolution of the shots!

I didn't realise you were posting them that large.

I resize all mine stuff for the web to 600x400 at 150DPI. Big enough to look at and get most of the details. Any higher-rez and people can pay for it.

Just my $0.02.

 

Keep doing it your way,RABs.

Many racers appreciate your generous contribution to this special thread.

 

Buildy
If im not mistaken the Kilman #1 was a white car. Not sure about that tho.

 

In 1974, Dickson went independent ("outlaw") and ran Ernie Ensign's #37 in IMCA and ASA events, winning the "Little 500". He only returned to USAC in August (Missouri State Fair).

 

Thank Michael,

I never knew that.

Maybe the photos of the black #1 aren`t from the same year as RABs other photos from his latest group?

By 1975 Dickson was in the Ensign #80 in USAC.

 

The 1 is definitely Stapp's car and I think that is Pancho in it - I don't think he drove that one much.

I think that this is the car that Butch Wilkerson and Jim McQueen ended up with.

 

Glad your stay in rehab was short. Thanks for the pictures.

Curt Grogan

Any idea where this Stapp is today? Sure looks like mine-Even the front bumper. I wish I could find some history on it . Any help out there? Thanks............John Stickley

 

In the words of Frank Sinatra, I'm gonna do it MY way,since it's the only way I know how to,and everybodys been happy with the posts I've done so far...OOPs almost forgot heres a few My way!.....Rich

 

Grant King built some beautiful cars!

 

Hey, I'm not complaining, but I'm sure that's why someone poached your pics, because they're probably a high enough resolution to print out.

The big pics are great, but you WILL get people 'stealing' them.

 

Does anybody know who was in the red #68 car?

 

I'M OVER IT,theres always going to be lowlife pieces of sh-t out there stealing stuff, if it's not mine, it could be yours or some one else's shots, so F--- it, IM going to keep on posting til I run out of shots, and have a GOODTIME with the GREAT PEOPLE on this thread,...THERES GREAT MEDS at THE REHAB!!!!!....RICH....... Forgot about the great nurse

 

im still looking for information about this stapp car,last ran as a usac car in the fall of 1977 and was driven by jackie howerton

 

I haven't come across any yet,still got a note stuck to the screen for your request....Rich

 

Steve is still alive and kicking in Brownsburg, Indiana. And still racing.

I'm not sure how to contact him, however.

 

Amen to that !

 

we sold that car after the 77 season and would love to find it,just like we found our edmunds midget

.....'Incidentally Midget-Racer, It was either here or over on TrackForum that someone mentioned that they got ahold of Steve Stapp to see if he could offer any type of input or advice on one of his masterpieces and Steve pretty much wouldn't give the poor guy the time of day!


'Tony, Reading, March 1975. Larry Dickson won the race.
