Ray and I were rookies at Flemington in 79 and became good friends through the 80's.
Raymond was fearless.
I miss him a good deal.

Ray's cars were always sharp looking so I'll bet this was his first ride. So much for the back gate. |

This was 1978, the year before Ray and I ran rookies. Probably only time he ran, it was orange, almost certain it was a different car than he ran in 1979. |

It had to be, Ray's rookie car (blue one) was Fred DeGroot's old 305. Fred ran that car in '78. Rumor was Ray bought a motor for that car from Jack Tant and it was stout! |

I never realized this was the former Fred DeGroot #305 until John Mc told me a few years back, and I then keyed in on the huge rear wheel openings that I remembered from DeGroot's #305. |
