KSGerry Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 (edited) The Kansas Auto Racing Museum recently acquired an old Supermodified/Sprint that raced in Texas, specifically El Paso, in the 1970s. The car's number was "327" was driven by Don Gray and the mechanic's name was Steve Neilson. The sponsor's name was "Auto Salvage of El Paso" and "Supreme Radiator". Does anyone have information about this car or good sources to check? Thank you and regards, Gerry Dedonis dedonis@kans.com The Kansas Auto Racing Museum http://www.kansasautoracingmuseum.org 1205 Manor Drive PO-0549 Chapman, Kansas 67431-0549 785-922-6642...KARM 785-655-3862...Home Edited April 7, 2005 by KSGerry Quote
wdw64 Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 You may want to speak with Marvin Phillips, the owner of Phillip's Automotive in San Angelo, Texas. I went to one of his seminars 2 years ago and he is full of amazing racing knowledge and history. I wished I had more time to talk with him. It was like talking to your Grandpa who's been racing for 50 years. Wes Quote
KSGerry Posted April 7, 2005 Author Report Posted April 7, 2005 Thanks Wes, I'll do a search to find contact information for Marvin Phillips. Regards, Gerry Dedonis Quote
NickHolt Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 Marvin Fillip owns and operates Fillip Automotive in San Angelo, TX. Phone: Marvin Fillip 915-949-1111 Monday through Saturday. Nick Holt Quote
KSGerry Posted April 8, 2005 Author Report Posted April 8, 2005 (edited) Thanks Nick, I assume that Marvin Fillip is related to the driver Chet Fillip? Then in doing a Google search I find a Chet Filip (one "L")...also a race driver. Hoo boy!! I need to spend a little time and figure this one out.

NickHolt Posted April 8, 2005 Report Posted April 8, 2005 Chet Fillip is Marvin Fillip's son. Not much to figure out really.. LOL Nick Holt Quote
txtom Posted April 8, 2005 Report Posted April 8, 2005 KS- If you would like to reach Chet, here is the website. Advanced Advanced is owned by Cory Fillip, brother to Chet. Both are based in Indianapolis. Quote
