TarheelRick Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Really cool build. Especially like the detail of the air vents poking out of the window openings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was around 1972 but I'm nor sure. I think Johncock won the stock car race but I cant remember who won the indy car race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t this car was it As it turns out that twin race I went to see was in 1973. that was the first time usac had the twin race at texas world. I found results for the indy car part of the dual races but nothing for the stock car race. I really can't remember that 25 car at all. Other than Racing Reference I have no idea how to find the results for that 73 stock car twin race. Like I said I might be misremembering about that yellow 28 car.

MarkJ Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I finally found the results to the usac stock car race I attended on April 7, 1973. Johncock did win the race in the Hoss Ellington Monte Carlo. Click on the link below for the results. http://www.ultimateracinghistory.com/race.php?raceid=133 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJ Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Tim, if you click on the link below and scroll down to 1972, it shows that Johncock drove a #25 Nichels prepared Chevelle during that year and actually won at Milwaukee with it. http://www.ultimateracinghistory.com/racelist2.php?uniqid=390 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowsportwagon Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 That sound right. He did drive for Ellington a couple times. He also the Clarence Lovell Chevelle after Clarence was killed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racersonly Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I’m a big fan of the old USAC stock car series. I attended several at the Milwaukee Mile and Kaukauna. It’s always interesting to see them modeled so well. I’ve built a few myself. A Jack Bowser Torino. A Don White and Butch Hartman Dodge. I have a Dick Trickle Fairlane and Norm Nelson Road Runner in the works, but I’m in need of decals to finish them up. Might anyone have any suggestions as to where I might get them?
