Now that I think about it. It did have a corvette body at one time. And yes it was very fast. I always thought it was an open late. Or super late(back in the day). Amazing how things have progressed.Also some great memories from long ago.
Thanks for the pic.

Was it called Rainbow 7??
I remember Tommy Phillips running at Lernerville in the 80's in the semi-late division and doing pretty well.

I dont know anything about rainbow 7. I cant remember the Bonfire on the side either. I do remember that Auggie Manifest used to own it. Tom Phillips drove it. Auggie owned a Fox's pizza in Lower Burrell.. I remember the car as being orange with white. And it was back in the 80's. I wanted to drive it when I was 16 yrs old. He wouldnt let me behind the wheel. I delivered pizza for him. Cant tell you how many delivery cars I thrashed and ruined. Or how many times the cops chased me into the parking lot after a delivery. LMFAO.

He did build dirt cars also but there were not very many of them especially in PA. I think they were a three link design rear suspension and many of the cars were still running leaf springs, no four links until the mid ninties.

Didnt the cars back then use a front clip out of a chevelle/camaro? I remember someone saying they used a pinto front clip just because it had a rack and pinion.He did build dirt cars also but there were not very many of them especially in PA. I think they were a three link design rear suspension and many of the cars were still running leaf springs, no four links until the mid ninties.

Zervakis was the east coast dealer for Stock Car Products so I image the front clip was one of theirs....Jig built early Ford style.You just confirmed it for me. That is the car in the pic. I remember the Zervakis name.
