Title: Jr. Ritchey modified 1963
Post by: Bob P. on December 18, 2021, 04:24:11 PM

This is a replica of the number 880 driven by Junior Ritchey at many Pa. speedways.
This is the 1963 version, raced at Port Royal speedway in Pa. He also raced at several tracks in western Pa.

This was built on an Edmunds frame with modifications.

 :)  Another great one, Bob.  The " 2d generation " of the first ones I saw race  were very similar.  Very much the same simple craftsmanship.  Pretty much backyard, or dirt floor.

Bob, that's a really nice job. I love mods from the 60's era especially. What are the wheels and tires on that car?

Maine Boy, the wheels and tires are from Big Donkey resin.
