That sounds like a a racer from the LA area back in the old days. A guy by the name of Phil Cameron, he had a header outfit called Overseer Headers. He raced a lot with a pickup,camper & open trailer ! Every car he raced had a For Sale sign on it the first time he took it to the track. He was a regular at OCIR,Irwindale, Ontario and Famoso.
He was a FRUGAL racer for sure ! :-)
I believe he had some half brothers that raced also,seems like one was Brian Pierson.
I can't remember the others name right now.
