14, Ed Flemke Jr
1984 – Stafford Springs. The 1984 Stafford Spring Sizzler was held a couple of weeks after Ed had died. As a tribute, the race organizers asked Ed Flemke Jr to pace the field in the old Garuti-Arute #14 coupe that Ed Sr had driven to famous victories at Stafford.

1979 – During this period, the #10 was normally stored in a garage on Adams St, Manchester. One night the nearby creek overflowed, flooding the garage. Luckily, that night Ed Jr had happened to take the car away on its hauler, and thus the #10 was spared. Photo by Howie Hodge, from Thechromehorn.com.

1960. The incident started when Dick Foley’s car got sideways. Seeking to avoid directly hitting him at 140 mph, Ed and Larry Frank in the #30 made contact, triggering the 37-car crash.

I believe this is the 21x, during the time when it was running without paint.

I believe that this car was owned by Dick Dixon. It may or may not be a coincidence that it bore the same number as the Garuti #28 Modified coupe which Ed was racing regularly during the same period. Photo by Shany Lorenzet.

The Turner brothers’ #18, often driven by another all-time great, Dutch Hoag. Ed drove this car at Shangri-La and Fulton. As can be seen in the photo on the right, the car had a unique “airbag” suspension.
