This orange and white 44 car was a screamer back in 1975 and 1976
Top picture The first car to ever win a $1000 feature at Brownstown Speedway in a 100 lapper.
I remember that race. It was the fair with a huge carnival going. Robert Earl ran the best race I ever saw him run. The Chevelle screamed around the track on rails for 100 laps in great tune. Beating Paul Crockett's Chevelle by a half a lap. Crockett's Chevelle won 12 features at Brownstown in 1976 but got a surprise that night.
The cars ran 13" tires back then, BTW
1976 was my first full season of going to dirt races.
