Comments: Comment:  I remember this car being driven by Dean Applegate and also by Oliver Butler.  I am told that it was owned by Modified driver Dave Hulse who I'm pretty sure is the fellow in the blue shirt leaning over the engine.

12.30.12 Rick Shive This is Dave Hulse's 68, built and driven by Dean Applegate. Dean told me it was built as a copy of his 9A sportsman of the previous season ('73), which became Bob Ayers 69. Had a cool chain driven steering setup (instead of U- joints). Possibly the last dirt modified built using a stock frame, that won a feature, 1974. Dean retired after the '74 season, and Oliver Butler drove this car in '75. Sold to Rick Lewis who ran it as a #21 Pinto in '76, and a Mustang in '77. I bought it from Rick, this was my first sportsman car, ran at Flemington and Nazareth in '79. Not much left of it when I was done with it.
12.30.12 3Wide That's an interesting concept Rick, "the last stock frame car to win a modified feature."  I don't know about other tracks, but for Flemington and East Windsor, I think you might be on to something there.
