The car the was restored I believe was one of the mid-engine cars. The original Wedge car he built was front engine.

I thought Callahan was from Pekin Indiana? I know he wasn’t from Springfield

Larry Moore in yellow LM. Stands at PIR did start sliding down the hill but didn't actually slide onto the track. Pushed the front straight wall onto the track. Not sure what they did wrong when constructing those concrete stands but they sure were nice when they were new.

You are absolutely correct. I broke one of my personal Cardinal rules and typed prior to fully knowing what I was talking about. Thank you for exposing my glaring inaccuracy and setting the record straight.

Charlie Swartz and Ray Callahan had no limits.

Watching Charlie qualify at Eldora was always a treat because you knew the car was put to it's limits!!!

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.
