I posted this replica build previously on Fred’s forum. It’s one of my favorite race cars from the past and one of my favorite builds.
This is the Bud Grimm, Ford powered, number 88 driven in 1965 by Ray Tilley.
The car raced in central Pa. and Hagerstown, Md. speedways. They won 47 features events and three track championships. This was the winningest car in the nation in 1965.
Three tracks in central Pa. Williams grove, Selinsgrove, and Susquhanna speedways changed the rules for 1965 to allow only one four barrel carburetor, no Fuel injection. This was to make the teams more even, hoping for more different winners. The rule was changed back to allow fuel injection at the end of 1965.
