Hi Warren,
I recently purchased three sprint cars in a proverbial "barn find", all of which I plan to restore. The first one is a car owned and raced in the late 1950s, in and around the Tulsa area, by the late Mack Terry. Mack moved to CA in early 1962 and raced the car at Ascot in the CRA in one race. He then drove #97 for Vel Miletich three times. In late 1962, Mack died of cancer.
The car is currently the #33 South Bay Auto Body Sprinter, but I would like to find someone who knew, or knew of, Mack Terry during the 1950s. My goal would be to restore the car to its earliest livery, AND, have a spare body in the South Bay Auto Body trim.
The other cars consist of the Lester Robertson Cadillac Sprinter that ran I.M.C.A. in the 1950s and 1960s, and a NOS Kuzma sprinter that has never had the body trimmed and fit to the frame. The NOS car will be the last one I restore, and most likely will be a trailer queen.
Any information, or leads to people that may know about Mack Terry, would be greatly appreciated.
