I wonder if the Pinto Barrett raced in Gas class was an ex Glidden Pro Stock car? Used to watch Barrett at Beech Bend a lot, he was always in the top of the field.

Richard
Rick started his Racing career with Chevys. He had a 55 Chevy, then a 68 Nova then the Olympic Gold 69 Yenko Camaro. When he sold the yenko he brought a 1970 Hemi cuda that he raced. He was having problems with getting Hemi parts from the dealership so he got mad and Swapped a 427 Chevy into the Hemi cuda. He quickly sold the cuda. Rick as far as I know ran all Fords after that he raced a Mercury Capri or two and Pintos and even had a Ford powered dragster at one point. I know he was around Bob at the early stages of Bobs career and wouldnt be surprised if Rick ended up with his old Pinto. I dont know that forsure. We were focused on his time with the Yenko.
