New London-Waterford. Car owner Bill Simons constructed and ran numerous “Excavator Special” Modifieds from the ’50s through to the ’70s. This car is numbered “09”, but is unrelated to Art Barry’s #09 which Ed and also Bob Santos raced very successfully in the late ’60s-early ’70s. In this picture the driver is Charlie Webster.
