  1951 Dodge, Modified Stock Race Car

  When I was a boy growing up in

  Michigan, cars were a way of life.

  I saw my first heat and main at

  Mt. Clemens Speedway.

  I later was in the pits at Flat

  Rock and Motor City.

  My dad was the shoemaker,

  my uncle was the chauffeur

  (mechanic and driver) of #44.

  My early recollections of that

  time are hearing that great

  American classic:

  ‘One Eyed One Horn Wild

  Purple People Eater’. How could

  you not remember that song ?!

  And the Sylvester the Cat race car

  and the triple 0 car my uncle Jake

  drove. We took 5th place in

  USAC modified stock car

  racing in Michigan in 1958.
