SCF2037-C #1 Hop Harrington Ed Bean's Dodge modified coupe

Meet New England Auto Racing Hall of Fame member, the late�Ralph �Hop��Harrington. Long one of the mainstays on the New England Modified circuit, Hop began his career in 1948 at the Kingston Rhode Island Fairgrounds piloting a nearly-stock 1934 Ford Coupe. From those humble beginnings came an estimated 300 victories, along with championships at places like Norwood Arena, Lonsdale, Kingston, and Westboro in naming just a few. Also a master car-builder, Harrington was instrumental in the success of Geoff Bodine�s winning reign while piloting the modifieds of Dick Armstrong during the 1970s. Harrington retired from driving in 1969, but stayed busy in the sport as the builder of Armstrong�s �Nu-Style� Jewelry entries. This is simply a beautiful photo from our friend John Grady!�(John Grady Photo).�
