I own 3 vintage Modifieds, Bob Potter's #110, Fuzzy Baer's #121 and Rollie Lindblad's first in house yellow Pinto from 1979. My question is, this Pinto went to Victory Lane with 4 different drivers. Name the 4 drivers and the car number at the time of Victory. spdracer19 please don"t respond, I told you a few weeks ago the answer. This car was featured on the front cover of Rollie's parts catalog in 79 or 80, but still ran for several years still as a Pinto. Good Luck.

 Rich,  I think Bob Potter grabbed a victory  in that car # 51 also Harry Rice's #10 had a few wins in one of Rollies cars.   RMF

RMF,


Good try, Although Bob did have the most success with a Lindbald car with like oh i don't know 50-60 wins,he is not one of the 4 drivers. The yellow 51 is a twin sister Jig car to the one i have. Harry Rice on the other hand is one of the 4 winners in the car i have, one down and 3 to go. Good Job, keek try-en.

Ahhh come Rich, you think I can remember that far back? I swear, my memory is getting so bad I can buy my own Christmas presents and still be surprised when I open them!

Ok Rich, I am going to get brave and take a shot at the other two remaining drivers. Dave Gada #27 and Mike Gada #21??

owr,


Not a bad guess, but i don't remember either of the Gada boys driving a Pinto. Bob Sr. did, but not the one i have. Note; i never said what race track. Keep Try-en.

Rich, I don't remember the Gada boys running a Pinto either, but thought maybe the chassis had been rebodied as somthing else and run. With your newest clue I'm gonna take another guess at the two remaining drivers and say, Leo Cleary #48 and Wayne Dion #48??

owr, im not sure about Wayne Dion, it's possible. But Leo Cleary is one of the 4. If Dion did win in this car then there would be 5, and that would be way to cool to have that many different winners in that car.


Harry Rice #10


Rod Tulba #11


Leo Cleary #48


---------------- 3 down and one to go. GOOD LUCK.

would the last be Armond Holley in the 48? Ive seen a picture of him in the Linblad 48, so its worth a shot.

Ben, Armond Holley did drive for rollie in a midget, not sure about the Pinto. I will check on that, but i don't think so. Good try.

I'm gonna throw another guess out there on this one, and I'm either gonna be lucky, or out to lunch but I remember Charlie Savage in #1 Pinto?

Well, this is probably cheating a bit, (And besides the fact this question is driving me nuts!) but what the hell it's my sandbox lol. I'm pretty sure I get the hint, and I'm gonna take three guesses at the last driver. Was it, Dan Meservey, Mike Weeden or Joe Lemay???

owr, cheating you say? You have to cheat to eat is what we at Savage Racing always said. Mike Weeden drove the #48 Yellow with blue number's and yes he is the 4th driver. congrats. Hope you enjoyed it i'll have more soon. Happy Holidays.
