03/27/05 Billy Walker ---Krash 63 I think its Ted Alt before his car was painted blue.
03/28/05 3-Wide I think you are right Krash....  I'll see if I can find a picture of the car painted blue...
03/30/05 Barry Hulse That is Ted Alt's 80.

I was going down the backstretch at Wall in a feature a lap down in about
17th with a bent lower A-Frame one night when Ted blew the water hose down the backstretch and spun in front of me. I remember Alan Wohl spun also and I went right between both of them HARD into the 3rd turn fence.

The next thing I remembered, Alan was at my door asking me if I was alright. Alan was not a small guy like me, so I figured out pretty quickly that I must have been knocked out for a minute or two, because there was no way he could have gotten there that fast! My left foot went between the brake and clutch pedal and was about three times it's normal size. My one and only trip to the Jersey Shore Medical Center!

I know that Travers Cambra was the track photographer at the time, and I saw in the following weeks program a picture of me hitting the fence that was in the following week's Wall Revue, sometime in May of '83.  I am still trying to find that picture!
05/20/05 Jerry H remember this car in the early 80s-was real cool to see this low slung coupe runnin strong with the modern bodys/know he won a cpl of feattures/wall probably isnt gonna be around much longer/why not go out with a bang! throw some extra money to the teams and as a finale mount some old bodies (falcons-corvairs-coupes-etc) if ya can find them /and have a nostoglia nite! maybe bring people that havent been there in yr
02/05/07 Bob Capestro I built this car around 1975. It used to be the blue # 7, that I drove at Wall Stadium. I ran it as a sportsman, and then bumped it up to a Modified. The chassis was very advanced for it's time. It had a "3 link" rear end suspension with tublar "A" frames and rack & pinion steering..
