Re: Stan Welch - Stock Eliminator Pinto Racer
Stan is one of the main reasons I race a FWD car today. The other being cost.
He and George Williams etc. Were the cars we hated to race. Every time we ran one we wore out a set of Firestone front runners.

Re: Stan Welch - Stock Eliminator Pinto Racer
Stan was a television camera man. He worked with Wee Willie Webber in the Philadelphia area. I know that he was good friends with Terry Welsh who was part of the Struse/Smith/ Welsh team. Terry went with him on the Western Swing back in the 70's.

For anyone who enjoys the slower stockers, you'll appreciate our "They May Be Slow" thread. Here's the link.... http://www.colesy-juniorstockforum.c....php?f=4&t=142
Here you will find the three photos of Stan's cars posted above as well as many other photos and a couple of feature articles on Stan's Hobby Horse Pinto. |
