02/28/04 John Arbruster Ray in this car was just about my favorite driver, I think because it was a silver car (I was only 5, you know).  We used to sit in section 1 of the first turn, and I remember Ray knocking down the first turn walk through gate one night, but I can't remember if it was this car...or the white #1.  Any better memories than mine?
02/28/04 3-Wide Ray visits our site from time to time and if somebody would show him how to use that computer of his, maybe he'd give us his comments... and then we'd really be in for it! 

Actually John, Ray is a real special guy not just because of his on track accomplishments including a Harmony Track Championship in 1970 and many feature wins against some of the best at the local dirt tracks, but because of his dedication to the preservation of the memories of some of his favorites of this sport.  They include Wally Marks, Wally Campbell, Al Tasnady and Dave Piscopo. 

I'll ask him about knocking down the first turn gate and he'll probably deny it (lol), but you're right, he did drive a white coupe with a Harley Davidson #1 on it.

03.08.11 Chris Zubey My all-time favorite dirt modified, with my all-time favorite dirt modified driver standing next to it. These guys (and many more) made me a dirt track fan for life. Thanks to my dad Jerry Zubey carting me along, I have many fond memories of this car, from time spent in the shop’s in either Trenton or Morrisville, or at tracks from Windsor to Reading.

Somewhere in a box at my parents house are pictures of me as a 6 or 7 year old, standing on the rub rail, climbing on the hauler, and sitting in the car, grass-stained toughskins with the knees blown out, but always smiling. And these guys were always nice enough to put up with the snot-nosed kid and his incessant questions about what does this or that do, injection or carb’s, etc...

The whole experience of it as a kid, from the garage, to the track, the hauler, to the places we stopped to eat and the things we saw along the way, always bring back very warm memories and a smile to my face. I think at the age of 6, I decided that my goal in life was to one day get out there and do it myself.

Now it’s me taking my son (and my dad) to New Egypt and Bridgeport, continuing the experience with my dad and hopefully creating the same sort of memories for my son.

Is this the coupe that was in the wreck with Art Lawshe in the dogleg at Nazareth  1-1/8?

01.18.12 3Wide Pretty sure it was Steve.  It was definitely at least the same body as this body was used on all of the silver #21 Coupes (driven by Ray Neary and later by Oliver Butler.)
