Shores sprint car from Kokomo

rrc · 8/29/12, 4:20 PM

I have been chasing the history of an old (probably early 80's) Shores sprint car. Latest info I received is,it was purcased in Kokomo Indiana .Names are not remembered who from but was believed to be a pretty well known driver and/or owner at the time....the car was heading to Mansfield,Ohio. The buyer did remember having to go down a dirt road to get to where the car was and while looking it over, a severe snowstorm cropped up. Just hoping the right eyes may see this and ring a bell..... thanks, rc

Thanks for the info George. Hopefully it will sound familiar to somebody. Wonder who was running or driving Shores cars from Kokomo around 1979-80-ish?
