06/08/04 Kevin One of Tommie Elliott's last rides...drove this car for bout half a season (second half).  He had already quit the previous ride (not sure which one this time...I think 2jr).  Meanwhile, Howard Harvey was busy preparing a new ride for the coming season along with big plans for attending some big races...Elliott wasn't interested and bolted. 

The following year Harvey's new X-9 was a real beaut!!!   Jamie Tomaino was the regular driver with a few New Egypt appearances by Charlie Kremer.

06/20/04 Tom Englehard Tommie drove it in 1974. The next year was when the "Dream Team" was put together with Jack Wischnick, Don House, and Tommie in the Roaring 20's Autos #20. My Dad would tell me that Tommie hated the big tracks. He would also tell me stories of when Tommie was younger and how he was the most fearless driver he had ever seen, especially when he was in a midget.
01/21/07 Charlie Miller I am pretty sure that this car originally was built by Bob Rossell and, if this is the car that became the Roaring Auto #20, then it was driven previously by Tom Green.
02/05/07 Mrnconway This is a Dick Barney car. Howard can't remember who he bought it from or who he sold it to. It was driven by both Hughes and Elliott. The following year Howard had a Troyer pinto white # 7 driven by Eddie Gieble. Then he went to the white and orange Vegas driven by Jamie

I recall this coach being a former Wayne Reutimann car…
11/07/08 Bill Van I believe that car is the former Blair coach driven by Wayne Reutimann (see URLs-obvious match & hard to miss it). It is NOT the old Rossell car- later Tom Green, T. Elliot, Roaring 20s, etc. The Rossell car was a torsion bar affair.  I used to pit next to this car at Wall when Howard owned it; I don't believe Dick Barney had anything to do with it although he had great coaches all of which were torsion cars driven by Richie M. and "Joe Kelly" at times. The coaches all look similar after you cut the bodies a bit...
