Question for Ed Wright

SStockDart · 07-04-2010, 11:12 AM

Thanks Ed...The Dart is fine. I got looking at the Cornhusker Raceway Park pictures closer and The lime green Chevelle of Gary Vincent's was a C/S car then, so than must have been 1970 or 1971. I was racing the Roadrunner in G/S at the time and also had a P/S 62 Catalina. Oh yes.........7 inch tires. What fun. The really fast guys around there in Stock (I am sure I will miss spell some names and leave some out) were Fred Anderson, Garber and Daveny, John Wilson, Eddie Rezac, and Richard Charbaneou. I was just a kid fresh out of the Army then.....where has all the time gone?

I knew my 60' was not any good, the car spun and the front end stayed on the ground. (Obviously it stayed on the ground if I could see the under carriage of your car.......ha ha) thanks again

The guys I talked to most "up there" were Eddie Rezac and Herman Chapman. Saw the others you mentioned, all fast, just never got to know them. Wonder if Herman Chapman is still with us? Always enjoyed visiting with him and his wife. Judy Lilly didn't seem to feel the same?

Don't know why. Some friction there.

How could I forget Herman Chapman. Really fast and would ground tow his Chevelle.

Herman was really fast, and seemed like a no-tricks guy. None you could see, anyway.

Ed,
Did I see your 56 running at Hallsville, Tx back in the day? Paint was the giveaway....
Who did you sell it to? Seems like I know who had it.

Probably so, if it was a WCS or special race. I ran Tyler one Sat night before a Sunday race at Dallas. Don't remember many special races in that area, but I'm old.
