Default Re: Anyone heard of Bill Schifsky?

[ QUOTE ]
Bill ran many cars back in the 60's and 70's and maybe beyond and I watched him race at many of the tracks in Minnesota back in the 70's. I have pictures of a few of them (thanks to Tim Clift) including a Mustang and Pinto funny car sponsored by L.M. Cox Manufacturing. He had a shop located on 1506 Buerkle Ave, White Bear Lake, MN 55110. 651-483-2656. I have no idea if the shop is still there or anything more about Bill other than he became a well known Pro driver/owner. "Doc" Holladay was also a well known racer who drove some of Bill's funy cars.

Thanks Rick! I am going to try to contact him next. In talking to my original owner's son, he told me that he helped Bill with getting that Cox sponsorship. I have seen a few shots of the Pinto and I think a mopar.

Thanks again!

John
