Ed Jr

1973 – Ed Jr’s first racing car. Ed Sr drove it initially, before his son ever did, in order to make sure that it was set up properly, and again later that year at the Riverside All-Star show.

Ed appears to have out-sprinted his crew.

This car was built by Art Barry as the #09, which Ed (and also Bob Santos) drove to a number of important wins. Art sold it to Dave Spence, who repainted the car as #206 and campaigned it primarily at New London-Waterford.
In 1974 Ed and Rocky Germani (who with Ed had co-owned the original ¢) bought the car from Dave Spence and renumbered it as the #06. Ed drove it once or twice in that form in 1974 or ’75. Ed Jr also drove it. Then Rocky took over the car himself and repainted it as the ¢ (modern version).

1974-07-14 – Thompson. Ed is in the #06, unable to avoid Gene Naumec who has spun in front of him. The #06 was originally an Art Barry #09. Heath photo
