Re: Plowman's old scans and pics
I remember when Greaser got that car painted like that. He raced my cousin and Ray Schurr in Rays Double 5 1955 Chevy in Modified Production. Bob Grasso also had that speed shop in Bristol??? with the guy that ran Sir Nomad. Grasso's brother had an anglia and Bob also had a Yenko camaro and a few other real nice cars. Saw Retribution and the Double 5 run in the mid 60's at Vargo!

Re: Plowman's old scans and pics
Just making sure I'm following. Ray Schurr = Ron Schoor pictured here:
   As I recalled he owned a Sunoco station. Passed away, probably about 10 years ago. Every once in a while I would stop by and ask him for advice or help on something. Never hesitated to answer me to the best of his ability and I look back fondly of my encounters with him. I do remember though that I would always appraoch him with some reservation, much like I see most people behave around Grumpy Jenkins and probably for the same reason.

Re: Plowman's old scans and pics
I'll check with him. This Ron has a station in Willow Grove, and I'm pretty sure it was a Sunoco- later 1960's.

Re: Plowman's old scans and pics
Ray never ran a bracket car. He quit I believe after the 55 Chevy days. I would say he would be about 68 or so today.

Re: Plowman's old scans and pics
My pop corrected me, the guy I posted Ron Schoor had a Shell station at Fitzwatertown and Welsh Rd. Near the Dunkin Donuts that is there today. This is just up the road from Ron Ruth- known for his 62 "Get Around" 409- another fellow from the Vargo Days.
Strange how similar they names were in the same area and around the same time. The "Get Around"

Re: Plowman's old scans and pics
I remember Get-a-Round at Vargo. Shame Ronnie Ruth is not with us anymore. That car did a lot of hoping around with that suspension. Probably would have went faster if he controlled the rear hop some. Car did run well though.
