| Comments: | We're not real sure of the spelling of this drivers last name as I thought it was "Gunther", and then I was told it was "Ginther" and now we're all a little confused... Not to worry as I'm sure the resources of the Vault will be able to show us the way... Either way, this was one really cool racecar as it had that little extra sumpin' sumpin' going on in da trunk! I don't know what year of make the shell is on this car, but I'm hoping you guys can help out on that too... |

| 09/13/03 | Scott Pacich | Ronnie Guinther. Has both the "u" AND the "i" in his name. That's a modified too, not a sportsman. Ronnie started out at Reading, and also ran Flemington a bit. He was a big Kenny Brightbill fan, and kind of modeled his car after Kenny's. This car was cool, with it's metalflake blue and gold paint. Ronnie's a landscaper in the Reading area now. |
| 12/01/03 | Chuck Herman | I think that's in his back yard on Mt Laurel Rd in Temple, PA. My cousin Carl painted the car really cool eagle on the back |
| 02/16/04 | Carl Krott | I originally took this photo one week before Ronnie's driving debut at the Reading Fairgrounds. The picture was taken in Ronnie's back yard on Mt. Laurel Road in Temple, PA. I was the painter on the car and it was my first attempt at design. The car was a 1937 Chevy "humpback" coach on a homemade frame designed by Ronnie and his dad. The primary sponsors on the car were Keystone Auto News and Moyer's Garage. Ronnie's favorite driver of all time was Al Tasnady. Al had a very strong influence on Ronnie's driving career which is why he eventually made Flemington his home track. Ronnie also became very good friends with Kenny Brightbill and Don Kreitz although that friendship was not the reason behind the choice of car design. |
| 02/19/04 | 3-Wide | The #33's were among my favorites from the early 70's at Flemington! They had their own very professional look to them in a division that some were still running with primer as their main coat and tape for #'s! Hey, whatever... That was the beauty of a night at Flemington - you'd eventually see a little of everything and if you saw the #33's you'd remember how good they looked on the track, especially early in warm ups before the battle scars of the evening.... |
