Any you guys remember Roger England of Columbus, IN
Roger, let me scan in about half of his scrapbook. Most of the photos are of his Sox and Martin prepared 70 Hemi Cuda. Enjoy

Re: Any you guys remember Roger England of Columbus, IN
Ernie thanks to you and Roger for letting us go back in time when I now realize how much fun we had racing back then. Odie Isom from Greenwood Indiana used take me with him when he went racing and I loved every minute of it. I also remember a guy from Osgood Indiana that raced a Hemi Cuda but I dont remember his name.

I think that may have been Bill Schmaltz out of Osgood. I believe his was an A automatic car. Bill later bought the Harold Stout SS/Am firebird. I wasn't sure about my link, whether anyone found it. Ernie |

Ernie,
Anyone that was around 35-40 years ago would surely remember Roger England. That SS/DA car was wicked fast and cool. It was always neat when he and Bob Williams "Double Trouble" Chevelle would tangle. I even remember him bringing that car down here to Brown County a handful of times to take on the locals. Occasionally took trips down to Columbus to go to his Sunoco station (where the Burger King is now), just to see the car. Robert Swartz |

I remember Roger England, one of the first cars i seen use magnet decals on there cars.
Ernie, Schmaltz bought the Eddie Schartman 68 SS/AH Dart and it never did come out. |
Re: Any you guys remember Roger England of Columbus, IN
Thanks, Ernie, for posting Roger's stuff. SS/DA was one of the toughest super stock classes at that time . I remember Boitnott bros., Cook bros., Chuck Little, and lots more in our local area. Seems there were about 20 or so cars at Indy in 72 when Roger won if I remember correctly. Bob Michael.

He used to tow that thing around with a really nice 70 Chevelle SS 454 car. I remember it rolling forward and putting a dent in the Chevelle's bumper with the tow bar at Brown County. Always thought it looked bass ackwards, a sweet Chevelle flat towing a huge wagon... Of course I know somebody that towed his 67 Mustang with a Pinto too.. :) Good days indeed |
