Dave Wren's Belvedere is one of the reasons I'm a Mopar fan (and wishful racer of one of those types of cars). Heck, Dave's car is one of my favorite mopars (the 63-65 Belvedere's, the '64 Savoy, and the '65 Coronet's)! I read a lot about Dave winning in those cars of his, and wish you well Dave to get better so you can keep that up!

Default Re: Dave wren still has it

I just got off the phone with a friend of mine who was racing at the Loafers Oldies race in Ashcroft BC Canada this weekend, it seems that Dave Wren won his class today, not sure which car in the fleet he was racing, but his light blue 62 Savoy has been seeing a fair bit of track time the past few years. As a teenager in the late 60`s-early 70`s, I got to see a bunch of Daves cars at the old Mission track, from his yellow & purple 70 Hemi Cuda (SS/D & DA) a few 68 SS/AA cars, and likely my all time favorite, a SS/B 64 2 dr sedan. Around 77 or 78, Dave was running a D/Modified Compact Plymouth Arrow, which I believe was the least favorite he ever raced. Dave is quite a character, and diehard MoPar guy. A couple of years ago he was checking out my buddys really nice 67 327 4 speed Nova, and gave the car his ultimate compliment, for a non MoPar car; Quote:" Out of all the Chevys ever made, those are the ones I hated the least"! Pretty high praise indeed.....

Rory...it was the blue 62 Savoy he was racing in Ashcroft. I was chatting with Steve the starter this morning and he told me that Dave Wren also entered into another race (gambler I think) and he lost in the semi final.

My good friend Nancy Matter was telling me that her step dad Ted Wells used to race against Wren when she was just a toddler, so she was happy to hear Dave was still racing. I will mention this to Dave at Mission's next race and get hear even more stories from him.
