Race cars in San Marcos.

These pics are from the San Marcos Record, dated March 15, 1973. Several members of the racing community got together to promote the release of a largely forgotten movie called "43". It was a story about Richard Petty. I can't tell you anymore about the movie, as I have never seen it, but I can tell you that the #4 on the trailer is Jerry Grant of Austin, Texas. The #37 is Torino owned by Lee Machen of Austin, and driven at this time by Ed Siegmund. Alvin Stewart's Hobby Stock is parked next to the Torino.

In the Torino pic, you can see Judy Machen, the lady in the middle of the 3 person group at the back of the car.

To the left of the 37 is the 77 car of Todd Ford. I recognize the front of that car anywhere! The car to the right of Alvin stewarts car has the name "Jack" painted on the roof. that has to be Jack Sandefur - a very low key, FAST paced individual. I love the pics and the story! thanks for sharing it with everyone!
