Comments: With the bulldog riding on the hood, Fritz Epright really used to get around in this #704.   I could be wrong on this, but I think this was one of the first cars to take advantage of a really wide body in the mid 80's at Flemington...  I'm sure those side pods didn't hurt any either!

On a similar note, I had an opportunity to watch some Flemington footage from the 80's and it reminded me of just how good a driver Fritz Epright is.  Fritz made everything he drove a contender at the square!

04/28/07 Bill Hanna I do believe this is the first Olsen built car that Trenton Mack owned. It was a time when they were dominating at the square. Fritz was a real threat each and every week with car.
11/20/07 PJ Wyer That 704 was awesome. With the exception of the "KID" . Fritz got around the square as anyone I ever saw.
12.02.10 CHIP I remember back in 89"or 90" Fritz drove this car, and I think Jack Johnson built it and if he didn't win on any one particular night, it was because the car broke down or he didn't show up.  I heard he won something like 10 races in one year and only raced 12times?? If anyone can remember let us know.
