Jerry Stein's Teachers Pet ,The Tomato Can

[Scott Eriksen]

Did this one about a year ago while on disability for back surgery, The Tomato Can '64 . The body is resin from MCW ,used a Lindberg chassis ,,the body was all wonky but it came out decent considering. I met Jerry a few times at Englishtown when he was running,,,I included a few pics ,thats me in front of the car in the denim shirt , my son was taking the pictures

Scott, your Jack Werst and Jerry Stein cars are absolutely terrific!  Made me a bit wistful though. Jerry is a good friend of mine and he helped me quite a bit when I was a beginning Stock Eliminator racer.  Super good guy! I got to meet Jack Werst at E-Town while I was the announcer from 2000 till closing. He was a great interview telling all sorts of great stories about his own history and the great cars and characters of Division One!

I certainly miss R P and all of the great people that I met during my tenure there.

The good old days.......miss that place

I definitely remember you and your R/T! As you might suspect, the Mopar race was my favorite!

I literally found this photo a few days ago. It is of me interviewing the legendary Jack Werst. Yep, those were great times!

Went to Island one blazing hot day this Summer for their 16 Alcohol Funny Car show. Wore my Berserko Bob T-shirt! Had a ton of people come up to me and say “Hey, remember back in the day when.........”
