Jack,

That is correct, the first brown car was the '63 max wedge Plymouth which was also was brown, he called that one Mr. Buttons also. That car was fast and was regular week in and week out at 75-80. By the way, one of his tough competitors was Dave Reitz of the Bob Banning & Sons Dodge / Plymouth dealer Bounty Hunters team, Tom Sneedon was Dave's team mate. Dave Reitz was driving this past Sat. at the Cecil County Nostagia event. Dave rolled up in his re-creation '64 Dodge post car "Hounty Hunter" entry on his first time run. I introduced him and gave the fans some background on his driving accomplishments, he lays down a 10.98 & 121 mph with a .003 light! Dave is on the north side of 70 yrs old. Not bad!
