| Comments: | Great looking Sportsman coupe run by Dave Spurlin in the late 70's and early 80's at the Square. Now I know why Dave isn't providing many pictures from 79 and up...He was too busy racing! |

| 01/04/03 | Dave Spurlin | Here's a picture of the #42 in 1979. I had a 350 too like Red Coffin except mine was only a 331! I wish I had his! The #0 coupe in the background is the former #00 of Buzzie Reutimann. I think it was driven by Lou Hahn. You can also see the #23 of Billy Cannon. I know the yellow body right next to us was the #1X The #42 was an Ebersole copy built by Tea Bag (WayneCoffey) from Markovich's. I bought it from Roy Ross (#71). It had an Epright Gremlin body at the time. The body I bought at a flea market (red #111, I believe it was a Banghart). You can see the #111 flip on the History of Flemington tape. This car (#42) was bent pretty bad not too long after this picture was taken when a power steering hose came off the cooler and I looped it in turn two. I believe it was one of the old Bob Rossell #56 cars with a different number who T-boned me and flipped end over end while I was just sitting there for quite awhile. He came roaring out of the pits and was a half of a lap behind and ran right into me! I didn't fix it because I was already building the next car and there was only so much money to go around! |
