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.

In the front row, L-R, are Tony Siscone, Ed, Dick Barney (behind Ed), what looks like sometime-Barney driver Richie Massing, and Ed Flemke Jr. Barney’s #14 car was designed and built by Ed and Ed 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.
