Where are They Now

[bakes]

    Down at ole shangri-la i wish i could remember the year ?? This happen in the Mods the body style wasnt like they r today .. But coming out of turn 3 the car broke loose and hit the white poll ( just like a telephone poll but cut in half ) in turn 4 at the start of the wall . I remember the car going about 5 -7 feet in the air and coming back down onto the track .... I may have the driver wrong but was that Wayne Edwards The car was white and blue #20

Yep, that was Wayne.   Several years later that same car reappeared at the track, painted white with a green #K21 on it and driven by Rich Raffety.

How about Mark Fluery?

Had to laugh that your post was post #52, Mark's old number...

Mark went to law school and became a lawyer.  Don't know if he's still living in the Nassau, NY area or not.

The #20 was Wayne's car a Sonny Seamon pinto.  The 48 Stumpjumper  was Bucky's race car and I might add" Lou Lou's kitchen" as she always said.

As others have said it was W.E. in the #20 and if I recall right Dave Kotary was involved in the same mis-hap that evening along with Wayne !! I remember as I was sitting in turn four and a whole bunch of kids came running down from the main grandstands towards the wreck as Wayne was passed out in the car for a few minutes before he came to, I later learned after getting to know that "bunch" much better that most of them were Wayne's kids as well as other family members.. (I think that's why they needed the "school bus / race car hauler" to get to the racetrack every week )!! lol   A great bunch of people I might add !! JMO

i forgot he did use a schoolbus/car hauler ... Just remembered a few of the LM drivers Dave Jackson   Glenn Lapollis <--- think name spelled wrong and Chuck Winslow <--- i do remember him driving a green w/black strip i do believe was the color #61 .. I know one night at shang coming down front straight this happen in front of me he was running in top 3 something broke or engine blowed sending him into a spin scattering everyone because of all the fluid he left... I do know these days he devotes his time helping his sons race at Blackrock...  Anyone else remember any LM drivers and don't worry i know what CRAZY GEORGE has been up to... I think he may have been the only one to hold it to the floor and dirt track it through the corners at shang..
           wouldnt want that tire bill after he raced
