Did Wayne Cox drive this car?
|
Dennis Gregory owned this car and his Father W.A. Gregory built the car and did the engine work. The engine was a 265 cubic inch Chevrolet which gave the 302 cubic inch Chevrolets fits. The car was built in 1965 and ran both 1965-1966 seasons. It was driven by Dennis Gregory, Ralph Parkinson and Wayne Cox. Ralph drove the car in Oklahoma City a couple times in 1966. Wayne some times drove it at Lawton. During the later part of the 1966 season Jerry Douglas totaled his #43 sedan in Wichita Falls and Jerry bought the #99 and finished out the 1966 season, Jerry sold the car but he don't remember who to, I built this model from memory because I only have a couple photos of the car and the photos don't show the whole car. I have saved the body shell of the model I built in 1965 after all those years because I had lettered the numbers and I used it for reference. The exhaust header pipes were made from clothes hangers as well as the roll cage. If anyone has photos of this car I sure would like to make copies of the photos.
