Bob, Yes, would like a picture, that was after I left for the Navy, it was orange, but never saw the stripe on the front that color. Need to dig out the Reading programs and check for your entry. I'm still looking for the picture of Hal in the 289 Cobra at Marlboro going over the bump airborn....

Steve, yes, when Hal was finished with his race cars they were "finished". You should have seen some of his early 60's Corvettes, fenders held together with tape, But he was a tough independant to race against. Wasn't until he got the 289 Cobra (CSX2127) that Hellertown Ford sponsored, that the car was keep in pretty good shape. Look at the Glen accident, then we did it in again at Pocono, down the back straight and when he went over the tunnel bump, he lost it at over 150mph. It took a months to get a whole rear clip. That's one of the last times I saw it.
