WOW! Bob Michael sending e-mail smoke signals from his tepee in Lebanon, Ohio. LOL

Here's a couple of pictures of Mr. Michael back in the day.

BTW you won't find a better ambassador for Class Racing than Bob.

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 haven't seen Roger in years. The is a Burger King where His Sunoco station was. Herb McCandless redone His rear suspension and wheel openings were tweaked. Odie ran a chevy wagon at one time. Blue or green. He ran at Bean Blossom quite a bit.

Out of curiosity, what is the history of the Duster in his album?

The original Cuda was traded with Dale Meers from Buffallo KY for the Duster. It was Shay Nichols Por Stock car, she has quite a history as well as the car. I believe her ride in that car made her the first female in Pro Stock.
That car was traded within a year for the red white & blue Cuda, which was Ronald Lyles' Pro stock car. That car was the first Sox&Martin pro stock Cuda that Ronnie won a bunch of races in, then they built a new car in '71 and sold the original '70 car to Lyles.

If I recall correctly, Shay Nichols first ran an original ZL-1 Camaro in Pro Stock, followed by a Challenger, and then the Duster. She and Shirley Shahan were among several women in Pro Stock in the early '70's but Shay was likely the most active female driver. There was a feature on the Duster in DRUSA or SS&DI back in the day.

He sold the Ford, I think it was a 1925 model. And yes I have heard that quote many times throughout my life, there are a few more my dad has but I'm not sure I can put them on here. HAHA
