Steve could very well be correct, i am pretty positive 60,61,62 Toby drove the 6. Glad when i posted it i just said Tobias. :laughing7: I know he drove for Register more than those years, but i remember those years because he was always a threat to beat Mackison in the 1080 at the Grove.

This is the 17 that he drove at Circle M in 55 . He then went to a 32 ford that he drove at Reading and the Grove.

That is Richard....and I believe it is a Flathead motor = 1957. From pictures in the High Point Men Book, the 17 had an overhead in it at Port with Thompson and Toby driving it in 1958. The 1957 pictures had a Flathead in it that Toby drove prior to driving the #88 at Port. I don't think the Grove had any stocker races in 1958?????

Toby drove the 6 in 1959-60-61-62-63-66...

That is a V8 with a 4 bbl. How do you hook up 4" rear tires.. :thinking:
If you think these guy's couldn't drive. :naughty: The Mackison 1 probably had 8" rear tires no power steering and set the 1 lap ave. at Langhorne over 100mph.
