The single seat class 10 car, or the 2 seater that he was selling out of Vegas recently? And do you mean Pinon Pines as in above Palm Springs?

I have no idea where my 10 car ended up but I'm curious. Bought it from a the original owner as a tandem 2 seat a-arm in 91. He claimed to be a former Raceco employee. I chopped it down to a single seat and raced it 3 years. I sold it into SD then saw it 1 time again at a FUD race probably 95. David said they built it in 88.

Cummins? At the time he was in Alaska doing air traffic control he said. The car sat in Yuma at ORBS when I bought it. It was all dark blue then.

Garett Wallace had a two seat race-co class 1 car in running condition back around the 2005 mark. Not sure what happened to him or the car!

When racing that car you could never have enough rear view mirror.

That's a very clean Raceco right there! Something like that would be PERFECT for NORRA. Even though it has the upgraded rear suspension, it is pretty close to period correct. Someone should see if this racer is still available.

I drove the Wallace Raceco pre running many times, was a very fun car to drive. The name escapes me but the original owner of the car that became the candy cane car I believe had a heart attack in the car possibly and passed away. I remember him really being up in years but ran competitively in class 2 and raced everywhere both Score series and HDRA and then some. Walter Prince then bought it for next to nothing, I am sure less than 8 grand because the car was advertised for a while at 11 then dropped to 9 and still didnt sell. A 100 percent complete class 2 Race-co. It was always in Dusty times and off road advertiser for sale. I am sure I have some of those in the rafters with it forsale. Walter Prince bought it for a penny on the dollar and made it the candy cane car which made everyone scratch there heads in wonder. Walter was classic
