Any you guys remember Roger England of Columbus, IN

[Dan Lattimore]

Bob, Glad to hear you're above ground. The last time I saw you was at I believe the Gators in 79. You were with Loyd (spell?) Robinson and there was a fellow with you that said he could pi$$ over a school bus. Please tell me I didn't dream that up,I am starting to get a little foggy, it comes with Social Security checks. :-) -----Damn fast Pontiacs--------Danny

Who was the big guy from Greenwood Ind with the Hemi car?, Red hair, Beard.
Just remembered Danny Crawley!

I think your talking about Danny Crawley from Ind.

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.

What ever happened to the old Ford Highboy that your dad had at your house back then. I remember him showing it to us and telling us he had to let the air out of the tires to get it under the garage door....
BTW - I believe it was '75. I got out of school to go w/dad get the car, it was not done, so I got to work at Herb's shop for a couple weeks while it was finished.
I still remember, Herb had me painting the cage, and his quote was "It the car runs as fast as the paint, we got it made!"

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

RogerD, when will mom and dad return from Florida? I thought he might have a few things to say on here.
