1973, I think, at the Thompson (CT) Speedway. Ron Wallace and Nolan Swift looking at the ex-10 pins car. Classic shot of Nolan in his cowboy hat!

1973, I think, at the Thompson (CT) Speedway. This is indeed Ronnie Wallace, who Swift picked to drive when he retired for the first time (or was it the second?)...Big Don McLaren drove the previous edition of the 10 pins, but as far as I know only when it was numbered Flyin' 5 after Ed Bowley bought it. The driver standing in the background, almost center, is Warren Coniam.

Probably 1973 at the Thompson (CT) Speedway. Looks like the C-15 and Bruce Kraft drove the car at Oswego in '72 or '73.

1973, I think, at the Thompson (CT) Speedway. The guy in the dark jacket, I think is Howard Purdy, and the guy in the white is Ray Moonan. The car is numbered 2, but I have no idea who is driving. It could be Bentley Warren, he used to wear goggles and a white open face helmet in '67, and was wearing the same when he won the Classic in '69.

April, 1972 at the Thompson (CT) Speedway. Waiting for the start. Paul Richardson (#52), Eddie West (#61 jr), Bob Millett (#3), Dave Thomas (#1). Thomas was badly hurt in a nasty flip in this race.
From Dave Thomas Jr.: "That was my dad's very FIRST supermodified race. It is the car that he owned along with local Supermodified owner Tim Trefethen. Unfortunately he ended up "barrel rolling" the car over 20 times in this race! It was probably one of (if not the...) worst crashes of his career. The car is currently in Epping, NH and is being restored by a member of the Trefethen family."
