1981 – Stafford Springs. The X3 was normally driven by Jim Hendrickson, who was much taller than Ed. The car’s seat was in a fixed position to suit Jim. Ed was able to get his feet to the pedals by placing his own seat inside of Jim’s, thus shortening the distance from the driver to the pedals.

This #7 Pinto was a Bob Judkins car normally driven by Ron Bouchard. In this photo Ed is driving it, although I don’t know if Ed ever raced it, or rather he just tested it, as his competitors would often ask him to do for them.
