Car #: #R10
Driver (s) : Glenn Fitzcharles
Location: Flemington
Date: 1970's

Comments: Can't remember how it all came about, but I know that Glenn drove the R-10 Sedan, Falcon, Mustang and Gremlin and then somehow it evolved into the Verona/McCabe #23 Gremlin... Followd by the little skinny nosed Pinto (I think) and then the little Chevette....  It didn't matter... Glenn was one of the most exciting drivers ever.  He was always on.  Seemed to quickly win over the crowd as to a lot of us he seemed to just suddenly appear and not only did he appear, but he jumped right in there with Ploski, Beavers, Chamberlain....  and the rest of the best!   Glenn is a Vault favorite!

12/04/04 gel92 Appeared from nowhere indeed. The fans were ripe and ready for anyone who could beat Gerald Chamberlain on a regular basis. I remember Gerald was booed in the stands because he was so dominant in the Bullock falcon. Ironically, in one of many victory lane interviews, Fitz credited his sudden ability to run up front to gaining info about the track and assistance from Chamberlain.
12/05/04 Paul Madsen If i remember correctly Chamberlain won a feature driving this car as a teammate to Fitzcharles when his car broke one night, but it was a #23 then. Paul Madsen
