NeilTPS Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 The #19 Ford was owned by the late Paul McGinn and driven by Leroy Farmer, who did the paint design and work. The car was sponsored by Bill & Judy Morris. A few years after we started the TWS Stock Car road course races, I decided to add a Super Stock class to support the Texas Race of Champions for TIDA Late Models and the other class races. The class was successful. Neil Upchurch Former Race Director Texas Race of Champions Texas World Speedway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyRodriguez Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I remember Robin in that race, close second to JOhn Newlin... that 24 os Slick's one of the few times I ever say him in anything other than a reddish car. #74 Phill Lyall in what I think may hvae been a Freddy car, 22 of Gary Van Lew after Fireball got out of that car and the 45 of Bob Bolin. Good pics, I'll say it again, sure do miss those TWS races.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txtom Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 That blue #24 was the 1984 color, in the last pic with the black #21 in it, the car in front is the 97 of Wally Garcia. The #74 is Freddy's old #14 Nova, and Phillip Lyall still has that car in Houston, with some changes to it, including the sheetmetal. The 81 is Grant is one of the later 80's paint schemes based on the styling of the numbers. A few years after we started the TWS Stock Car road course races, I decided to add a Super Stock class to support the Texas Race of Champions for TIDA Late Models and the other class races. The class was successful. You're right, Neal; I know we enjoyed racing up there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
