| 01/02/03 | Scott Pacich | Ronnie's last name is Guinther. No relation to Charlie Gunther. He actually started with this car at the Reading Fairgrounds. |
| 01/14/03 | Bill Hanna | This car had an extended life later on as Skip Turyona’s first car. He used it in Rookies and Sportsman, just changing the car number to his own # 8T. Bill Hanna, Easton, PA |
| 02/16/04 | Carl Krott | This car was also a car that I designed for Ronnie and it had a unique body style and paint scheme. This car (like his first) was a 1937 Chevy "humpback" coach cut and sectioned to reduce its size. The paint was all "Candy" color with a touch of pearl. It was Candy Apple Blue with purple "pearl" flames blended into the artwork and then sealed with 4 coats of clear. This was Ronnie's last car and as Bill Hanna mentions was sold to a driver from Flemington when Ronnie stopped driving. |
| 02/19/04 | 3-Wide | For anyone who watched the sportsman division at Flemington in the early 70's, the #33's of Ronnie Guinther were always eye catching. The shape, the paint, the lettering... the whole package! |
| 12.30.12 | Skip Dyrda | Ronnie and I became friends before either of us could drive, I think, racing models up on Mount Laurel Road. And I'm sure it was he who introduced me to Flemington. It was my favorite track for both watching and driving, even though I lived just a few miles from Reading. Not sure I ever actually watched Ronnie race at Flemington...I was probably busy with my own car at the time. |
