Now with all that out of the way.....Let's make some laps!
Current day Pro Stock hotshoe Derek Ramstroms grandfather Bob Ramstrom was a car owner back in those days, but there is no connection to the mystery driver of the #35.
Ok, since this one has proven to be a tough one I'll throw a few hints out on it.
The driver in question was the patriarch of a racing family out of Mass. He had good deal of sucess during the 50's, 60's and 70s and his son went on to a respectable career in his own right in the 70's and 80's.
The car owner's of the #35 were Newton an Mcfee also.
Hey Guys. I was gonna guess my grandfather Roland Lapierre, Jr., as we've got photos of him in the car c.1977 at Westboro (and I believe he ran it at Hudson sometimes offhand)....
Yankee you would know better than I if it was Sr or Jr, the caption with the picture does not say whether it was Sr or Jr, I just assumed Sr, an we all know how dangerous that is.......
So ding ding we have a winner good job Yankee Roland Lapierre Jr is the answer.
