Total winnings- $2,231 for 1971. Total "A" Features won- 11 out of 20, won 5 of these in a row.
1972 season.
Third year of driving, fourth year in racing.


Left picture above is a side view of the first super stock. The right picture above is when Playland had a team race with two car teams I don’t remember how many laps it was. Gray Durum and Larry White raced their cars in it. Larry was a neighbor of mine at that time. He raced at Playland also. We came in second to Ron Tilly.

#44 is the same car as last year and the year before with the exception of another new body and some suspension modification. It has the same short block as last year with larger heads and the latest carburation system available.



The car was done and ready to race and then in mid-winter, they decided to change the rules and I was forced to move up to the Late Model Super Stocks.
We put new tires on the car. We spent over $300 for them. We had to build new hearders so the tires would work. It doesn't look like the old #44 anymore.
