1972 Dodge Colt
It was a great day today. I started this morning doing some internet searches and by days end I had located and TALKED to the last two folks I was looking for who raced my Colt. Donn Patrick, one of the Patrick Brothers raced the Colt in the late 70's he was a partner with Tom Kocanda. Donn won A/MP in 1978 at Indy with his Hemi Barracuda. He sold that car to Dave Wren, another Mopar racer. Bob Cope bought my Colt from Kocanda around 1981 with the 396 De-stroked Hemi. He installed a TorqueFlight and raced the car for a few years. Sold it and bought a street roadster. I was so fortunate to find both of these guys, that they are still healthy and remember the Colt from so long ago. So this closes the loop and every living person who built or raced my Colt I have found and talked to. For a car built in 1973 I now have the complete history from the folks who raced and owned the car. It was a good day!
