Butch Harris co-owned and owned (depending on the year) Motorama Speedway in Beaumont until this past winter.

Early seventies might have been a little early. I know that somewhere in the 71-73 period Chet was a teenager just starting out behind the wheel of Marvin's 55 Chevy stock car. I can't imagine him being in a Super quite yet.

Actually, there is a bigger clue to a link between the two cars - they have mirror image paint schemes.

Love that spoiler on the yellow #4 !

The close-up above of the #4 Clyde Johnson car answers the question on another thread about whether the header was actually that long or just debris in the picture.

Darlene Rhemur, if I remember correctly. It was pronounced "Ray-mur" If anyone is interested, I still have some authentic 90W rear end lube from this era. You would have to get it out of my old, old work clothes, but I still have it with me. It was in my hair too, although not deliberately. I finally got that out.....

#97 is Walley garcia #10 is willie charro, #93 Pat Chandler, #26 Richard Gather #21 Tommy Davis I agree on these (just needed a little memory prompt!) You are probably correct on Walter Groff. I knew it didn't look like Ronnie, but I didn't know of any other possibility.

Bubba Storbeck is the first person behind Darlene. Oatey's Dad, Don Oatman is a couple of faces to the left, peeking around someones shoulder. The person in glasses one row back and to the left from Don looks familar, but I'm not sure of the name.

Yeah, I'm with Oatey, some very serious flashbacks. Some miscellaneous comments - It was nice to see Teddy Jone's convertible (#66), I was wondering if it would ever show up on this forum. A few of those pictures are earlier than the rest, as they show the tires the Super Stocks were running before the "Indy" or "Steamroller" tires appeared in about '71. I had completely forgotten about the through-the-hood header stacks. Some drivers: #1 - Buddy Jerkins #02 - Leroy Brooks #20 - Fred Elbel Jr. #22 - Fred Elbel Sr. #37 - Ed Siegmund - The holes in the hood reminded me! #42 - Buddy Woodall? #54 - Don Oatman. #55 - Bubba Storbeck (I don't remember him ever running a Ford, but here is evidence) #56 - Hubert Bean (Bean Bandit) #67 - Ed Szeck - later to go to bigger things #88 - Ronnie Groff (the car doesn't look familiar, maybe he was just a sponsor) If I get time I may try to add more.
