    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.

    Very cool, love the Hap's sticker (worked there in college!). Bob lived not far from me for a while, been several years since I have seen him.

    I bought some bell bottoms at JC Penny's one time. After I washed them they shrunk about 4 inches. I didn't wear them, needless to say. hahahaaha (for cirf)

    One pair of my grandparents lived in Erie and had a tire recapping business. I spent a lot of summer weekends at their cottage outside town and in the shop with Gramps watching him break down tires with a sledgehammer and 2 tire irons. I remember where that high school was but never knew there was a race track there.

    This was mid to late 1940s and I was only a few years old and hadn't discovered racing yet so Gramps never took me but he did put me on a stool at Sullivan's Bar, his favorite watering hole next to his shop on French Street. I'd sip a Dr. Pepper while he'd knock down a few fishbowls of the tap beer with a couple of shots of Calvert's. The booze killed him when I was only 8. Made me sad. He did introduce me to wrestling though and got to see Gorgeous George, probably the original super star, at Gannon Auditorium. A lifetime ago.
