That's a neat ride! I met Ed Sanger a few years ago at Knoxville by chance and got to hear some of his stories, which was really cool. He had stories about the World 100, working in NASCAR with Morgan Shepherd, and Larry Phillips being unbeatable.

Wreck, Ed Sanger can be still be found in the stands today, his stories make you forget about the racing, lol. I was at a WDRL race in Superior Wi. and was talking with the promotors and when I told them I was from Iowa they told me how impressed thet were with Ed, one year he wrecked front end of his car in the heat, they thought he was done but he worked on it, started in the back but ended up winning the feature. Many other stories about the Silver 1000 in Proctor too. Truly a legend.

Ed Sanger 1984 World 100, believe this is the car he built for Bobby Allison to drive in the Miller 100 at Hawkeye Downs, this was a very dominant car.

I believe it was the first lernerville 100 lap late model race. Anyhow, this guy shows up from Iowa, that alone got everone's attention. But more so than that , this was a time that everyone had big blocks under the hood. Here comes ed Sanger in with a small block, well I'm not sure how he did or finished but a lot of guys switched over to small block power the following year. If memory, ha, that's funny. Bob Wearing and Clate Husted had everyone on there feet. Wearing was none as Mr. Invitational. But boy Clate had his number every time I saw those 2 go head to head.

Hewitt in Swartz backup at Eldora, maybe Jim Curry in the 7?

I need help on this one, Eldora 83- cannot remember who was in it but one of the best looking cars at the time.

My guess would be David Speer

Wonder what track he's on? Looks like plenty of bite in the track. And maybe that strange wall too!!

[Clayton_Wetters]

I never did see this car at a track. Wonder who it is.

53 is Joe Kosiski from Omaha Ne. Think the track is Davenport Ia. before the concrete wall, those block tore up alot of cars.

I saw this one at Paducah once though at a NDRA race. They called it the Yellow Canary at the time. It was very fast, as the driver usually was too.

A year or two later the concrete grandstands actually slid down the hillside onto the track. Anyone remember that?

I'll bet they did. lol

Chargin' Charlie's Wedge! I believe Ray Callahan of Springfield, Illinois had a hand in building this car. One of the coolest modern generic late models ever!

Charlie's wedge car was found and restored by the owner of a Minnesota race track.
