  1. Ralph drove this car at the New Asheville Speedway in 1962,1963,and 1964,won the track championship in 63 and totaled it in 64 . Bob Pressley thought Ralph spun him in the heat so in the main in turn 4 Bob hooked him in the right rear so he hit the wall hard it cracked the wall and knocked the track lights out. In 1962 Ralph could'nt out run Dickie Plemmons in the 18 car,Nascar tore down the top 4 finishers I was talking to Toy Jones who was the smarts behind the 18 car and Ralph came up and said Jones can Iook under the back of your car Mr. Jones said look all you want Ralph slid under the 18 for about 5 minutes got out and Jones said see what you wanted and Ralph just smiled, he won the rest of the races that year. The V8 was owned by the Pressley brothers of Canton,N.C.
  2. This is a car a late friend (Mike Reeves) ran at the New Asheville Speedway in 1967 and yes it was Nascar sanctioned.
  3. X and Y cars, an honor to Mr.Toy Jones. They ran in the late 50's and early 60's around Asheville. McCormick Field and Asheville Weaverville speedways. Banjo Matthews drove the X and Dickie Plemmons drove the Y and Mr. Jones was the smarts behind them.
  4. Were these six the extent of the 1/25 MPC Super Stocker series of kits? 1) 1-2750 GTO Super Stocker (soon to be reissued): 2) 1-2751 Camaro Super Stocker: 3) 1-2752 Chevelle Super Stocker: 4) 1-2753 Mustang Super Stocker: 5) 1-2754 Monte Carlo Super Stock (reissued multiple times over the last decade plus): 6) 1-2755 Barracuda Super Stock: I recall someone here mentioning the Camaro body from the MPC annual kit was used for the Super Stocker-- does that follow for the others, too? Here are the first(?) four shown in the 1974 MPC catalog, which was the original year of release?:
  5. Back in the last days of many short track arena's they were left to their own demise or redevelopment. Along with the loss of the tracks many race cars were also abandoned and forgotten. Often times they were dismantled piece by piece or just left exactly as they were when retired. This one is a tribute to those cars that still remain behind Granddads shed, Service station or in a field somewhere. Like many race cars it stated out as one style, but was re-skinned with an old Chevy body. It has some missing parts, a flat tire, some tools and carb. Lots of rust and debris and a few nests I'm sure. At least the engine was covered! I'm happy to finish this it's been a WIP for to long. As always thanks for looking and your comments are welcome, +/- !
  6. MISFIRE! As I was saying, Lots of free time these past months have allowed me to finish up several long over due projects. This one is a DTR Short Tracker with some resin pieces, weathering, rust and imagination...
