Dwight -Get out your URC book
 

I need your help Dwight.
Who's in the 31? The lettering is a little odd, and it looks like Jim Angeloff, but I can't seem to find any record of him in URC.:confused:

The URC books have no mention of Jim Angeloff. The car looks as if it could have been a Mataka Bros. 3n1 at one time. With the cage and no wing it had to have been '69 or '70 if a URC event. I was doing my Beetle Bailey imitation from '67 to '70 and saw no URC events during that time. Sorry.

Hmmm - I found something you don't know, but I still don't know more than you!!:O::O:

Re: Dwight -Get out your URC book
 

Al, are you sure that is a URC event? The 66 looks like Ralph Quarterson from Western Pa.(on edit) Quarterson did run an occasional URC race during that time, usually when the club ventured west to Bedford and the like. He even picked up a URC win at Bedford on August 15th, 1970 but that was in the Fiore Chevy.

Its Not Ralph For Sure!

Re: Dwight -Get out your URC book
 

Looks like Port Royal and maybe Johnny Grum in the 66, not sure about the 31

Hey - I actually know this one. The 66 is the Harry Fletcher Sprinter, and that is Johnny Grumm. It is the same car in which he won the 150 Lap Williams Grove Open. Yes, the Grove Open was 150 laps back then.

Man, a 150 Laps. West Capital 1/2 Mile 200 laps! Mid 1950's:thumb We had the last Ford Flathead V8 Hardtop in that Open Comp! Sprints, Winged Sprints, Mods and our hardtop.

I remember those 150 lappers. Gordon Johncock won one of those in, IIRC, 1963.

The 31 is in fact Jim Angeloff. He ran his own operation on the Central PA circuit in the late 60's, early 70's. His best year appears to be 72, when he finished 9th in points at Susquehanna.

Lee,
If you could find that one, I think we should appoint you the official resident sprint car historical expert on here. You must possess the complete history of sprint car racing. So far, you haven't been stumped.:thumb

Don't forget to send that pdf file to my email address below! :)

Thanks very much!

PS - I even changed my signature :D

That appears to be an old Tobias or Lee Osborne chassis that Angleoff is in. What event would that have been if not a URC event? Or was it?

Re: Dwight -Get out your URC book
 

It must be pre 1971 URC. No Wings.
