Of general interest

1973 – Martinsville Cardinal 500. In this race Ed drove the 2x Pinto, not the blue Vigilarolo #34 in the photo. This was the race in which Ed was passing Jerry Cook (shown here in #38) for the lead when Cook banged into him, damaging Ed’s car and possibly costing him the race, which Cook won.

This was the original $, owned by Bill Boudrieau and Donald Ponticelli. I am not aware that Ed ever drove it, as it was the predecessor to the famous $ run by Ponticelli and John Stygar and driven by Ed starting in 1960. Photo and caption from the Coastal181 website.
