| 07.06.09 | JACK HELGET JR. | DAD BUILT THIS CAR IN 1971/1972 STRICTLY FOR ASPHALT. HE RACED AT PLEASANTVILLE SPEEDWAY MOST OF THE SEASON WINNING ONCE, THE HOWARD BETTS MEMORIAL 50 LAPPER AND WE WENT 3 TIMES TO WALL STADIUM WERE HE WON TWICE BACK TO BACK. THEN BRIDGEPORT OPENED UP AND WE CONVERTED THE CAR OVER TO DIRT AND DUMPED A BIG BLOCK IN TO IT. IN 1973 MY DADS FRIEND WRECKED HIS SHELBY MUSTANG SO WE PUT IT ON OUR CHASSIS. AT THE END THE 73 SEASON THE REAR QUARTERS WERE SO BAD THEY HAD TO BE REPLACED. AT THAT TIME WE HAD A FALCON IN THE YARD THAT HAD PERFECT QUARTERS. SO THAT IS HOW IT GOT TO BE IN THAT PIC. A TRUE SHELBY FAST BACK WITH FALCON FENDERS. GREAT PICTURE. |
