Bob Judkins

Bob’s garage and shop on the Berlin Turnpike south of Hartford CT. The first and second 2x Pintos were built here.

Ed is well known for driving Bill Thornton’s Manchester Sand & Gravel #10 Pintos from 1975 through 1978, but he drove the #10 coupe at least once, in summer 1974 at Stafford where he finished 4th in a heat race. He then drove the 2x Pinto in the feature. Thanks to Carl Oberg for the information. In this image, Ron Wyckoff is behind the wheel. Photo from Racingremembrances.com.

1974. This picture was taken at the showroom of Nagle Ford, where Maynard worked and which sponsored his racing for many years.

Bob Simons informs us that on at least one occasion Ed drove one of the Simons Brothers “Excavator Special” #9 cars. We have no record of which of the many Simons cars Ed drove, but I have chosen this photo because it includes both car owner Bill Simons (R) and Ed’s long-time friend and crew member Clyde MacLeod (L).
