The Duster looks to be an old Ron Lyles car by the paint scheme.

I dont have any pictures,only memories,I raced their many times on Sunday afternoon back in the 70s.It is nice to still see some of the people that raced back then still racing today.It was a long haul every Sunday about 300 miles round trip but it was something that I looked foward to.

That is where he got the Paint scheme from..He started racing that duster back in 1976 in SS/K.
Then I started driving it in H/R then we put a Tube chassis under it and ran some 9.90 & 8.90 Classes.
It is still racing Local today in Brackets at Red Springs.

Here is a Picture of it when I was driving it .

The siver Camaro by the van looks like Randy Mason and Warren Plowden's "Nobleman".

The red Roadrunner looks like the late Billy West...the blue Roadrunner is Johnny Fishers C/SA car (it was a real six pack car, not a clone) and the blue "Bustin' Loose" Vega was out of John Wests' shop and if my memory is correct was Steve Coats.
