Redman pictures from 70's (edgewater & others)

A big thanks goes out to Bill Floyd (Nhra'a very own REDMAN).
He sent us a bunch of photos from early D3 days (taken at Edgewater and other KY and Ohio tracks).

Please help me identify as many as these racers as you can. Sorry... I don't have any prizes.

Here goes.... #1

Great pictures.

Steel wheels, Cager SS (I must've had at least 4-5 sets of those, heaviest d>%# wheels ever made but they sure looked neat), slotted mag wheels, street tires, slapper bars. Simpler times, just thankful, I was fortunate enough to experience some of it. I may have even been there when some of those photos were taken, LOL. There was a 3 year stretch when I was at Edgewater about every to every other Saturday nite. Used to be a lot of Indiana people come down there.

I was wondering about the green Mustang. There was an Ulrey that ran out of Seymour, Indiana, he always ran CJ motors. Thought he always ran full bodied Fairlanes or Torinos. Then again, that was a long time ago and am sure my memory has gotten fuzzy. He may have have had or was involved with a Mustang? Then again, that's likely somebody altogether different.

Ulrey Brothers of Seymour Indiana not sure the (Marsh) partner on the side at the time. John Ulrey still in Seymour, Indiana runs Ulrey glass company. Mike pasted a few years back. Always big Ford racers

Thanks Ernie, John Ulrey was the one I was trying to recall. You name rings a bell, didn't you run (you may not want to admit it, LOL) a couple of your cars over at Brown County in the early 70's.

On the above thread I remember 3 of the 4 cars distinctly. The Burnell Camaro, if memory serves me was a replacement for the SS/I Chevy II. I remember seeing photos of the car after he and Don Wilson lost it off their trailer down in Tenn. Wilson helped me build a bracket motor in the 80's and we were taliking about this. Said "it was the scariest thing to watch your race car pass you going down a mountain"!

Thanks for the post Mr. Sheehan. I remember a lot of the cars but can't place the names. # 5 Opel Kadett Buddy Mullins, #7 Richard Jackson "Respect", Does anyone remember the spin-start 396 Camaros? Bob Michael.
