Anthony - I'm assuming that the first 2 cars were purchased
by Ken Brenn, correct? Also, any idea what happened to your #73's?
I know that the car you have now is an original, but I didn't know for sure
if it had ever left your ownership since it's original purchase from King.
Also, I remember the following 4 (I think) driving King #73's: Gary
Balough, Billy O, Sammy Beavers, and you.... Am I right on that, and,
did anyone else drive your King cars? |

Joe you are correct about the four drivers. I feel lucky to
be in the group with the other three. Gary and Billy did a lot of winning in
our King cars and Sammy’s outside pole in Syracuse in 1980 made us the best
of the rest behind the Batmobile.
Many people have wondered where all of the King cars ended up. It’s hard to
believe that not more of them have shown up. One thing everyone has to
remember is that most of them were raced into the 80’s which means that they
got fitted with big bodies and inner panels so they kind of got lost in the
crowd. Ours included, so yes some things left us and had to be tracked down.
Some things had to be remade because most of the cars were hand made parts
so there's not to much NOS parts laying around. |

Anthony I was there when you won your 1st sportsman/small
block race at OCFS against Brett Hearn.
I remember there was a red flag during that race. Gary Balough came out on
to the track and leaned in your car and, I'm guessing he was telling you how
to make your car WIDER.
Is that the same 73 that Gary lead all 200laps of the 77"Eastern States?
Mr. Balough still holds that.. |

Chip, you have a good memory. Yes this is the car that Gary
lead all 200 laps of the 77 ES 200. A week or two after that Billy O was
running away with the Daniel Boone 200 with this car until the radiator
strap broke.
I remember my first sportsman win that night very well. There's no more
pressure then being a rookie leading on a late race restart with Brett right
behind you. |
