Comments: Steady runner Larry Bowers ran throughout the 60's and 70's.  I always thought this was a good looking little car.  Looks especially good with the silver rims shining as night begins to fall on the Flemington Speedway.

11/07/06 Richard Pearson I always love the backround of these pics. The stands are filled top to bottom from one side to the other. Brings back memory's of having to call the speedway (201-782-2413 "forever etched in my mind") early Monday morning to get a seat in the grandstand for a regular show the following Saturday night.
11/10/06 Jeff McClung Larry was one of the first modified drivers to convert over to carburator fom injectors at Flemington. This is a Burnett car, he had a bunch of cars running at Flemington during this period. Note how visable the driver is in this car! I sure do miss this era, it was great.
04/11/07 Bucky This car is a Burnett frame. Howie Cronce built the car after becoming friendly with Larry Bowers. Larry had asked Howie to drive his sedan to help to straighten out it's handling and they formed a friendship. If you look at the Who is it section you will see the car with a temporary body on it and with Howard shaking it down for Larry. The Mustang body was built and painted by Ted Bachardy of Ted's Auto Body in Flemington. Compare it to the 9c and the DD among others and you will see the similarity. Another sister car is the #1f of Larry Friedman.
