As a car builder and owner, Bob Garbarino was a fixture of Modified racing for more than 50 years. His “Mystic Missile” cars, numbered 4 and V4, were driven by many top drivers including Dick Watson, Gene Bergin, Leo Cleary, Denis Giroux and Bugs Stevens. Although Ed was never a regular driver of Bob’s cars, over the years he drove several: older coupes, a Mustang and a Pinto.
