x3

Owned by Tony Ferrante Sr and normally driven by Jim Hendrickson, the x3 was built by Ed and Ed Jr. Ed Sr raced it at Stafford Springs and Pocono.

2x Pinto

1972-03-19 – Martinsville Dogwood 500 lap 120 of 250. The leader indicated on the scoreboard was car #42. That was a temporary ‘Martinsville number’ given to the original 2x Pinto which Ed was driving. In this race he led for 60 laps, and was still leading until his engine blew a few laps after this photo was taken.

2x Pinto

1972 – Martinsville. Max Berrier (12), Paul Radford (26), Ed in 2(x). An internet poster asserted that this photo was from the March 1972 Dogwood 500. However, the car in this image is the second 2x Pinto, which did not exist until a few months after the 1972 Dogwood race had taken place. This image in fact appears to be from the October 1973 Cardinal 500 at Martinsville.

28

1971 – Stafford. Owing to a dispute with an unreasonable NASCAR in 1970, after that year the Garuti/Arute 14 and 28 never again ran in a NASCAR race. NASCAR’s bureaucratic reach did not however extend to All-Star Racing League events, and Ed was able to drive the 28 in the 1971 All-Star show at Stafford Springs. Photo by Howie Hodge.

2x coupe

1967 – Riverside Park All-Star race. This was the second, and famous, Bob Judkins 2x coupe. That is of course Bugs Stevens in the Len Boehler #3 behind Ed, and Jerry Dostie in Art Barry’s #909 behind him. Photo by Lloyd Burnham, from Speedwaylinereport.com.
