FRED THOMPSON AND PAUL BACCHUS SCORE AT HILL VALLEY OPENER
Fred Thompson of Cherrytown, Pa., and crew performed a marathon this past week to finish a ground-up restoration on his 36 Pontiac coupe, and went on to win the Sportsman segment. Ed Cutshall finished second in his old school 39 Chevy coupe, third, Robert Williamson in his Richard Petty clone. Forth went to Shawn Yoder, committing himself and his excellent 30X90 bug to running all the tracks for the point championship this season.
Paul Bacchus of Valencia, Pa., just barely squeaked a modified win in his 40 Chevy coupe, as Lloyd Hockenberry reeled him in at the white flag and finished on Bacchus' rear bumper, Larry Felty also challenged Hockenberry and Bacchus driving a super sportsman, but had to settle for third. Rick Pastor battled a stubborn oil pump. Heats to Thompson and Bacchus. Amanda Coghill started driver points and set the lineup MANY THANKS to Trish & Tom at Hill Valley for our schedule.
