Mystery Driver # 19

If my memory serves me right, this may be 1977, and always running with a tight budget Lou is still competing with this great looking coupe even though the Gremlins, Pinto’s and Vega’s have taken a strong hold on the racing scene by now.

Second Photo:

Lou Searing of the famed Oak Hill Ridgerunners clan poses next to this unknown (for Me, can use some help here) #178.  We all remember the night Lou was seriously injured in a frontstretch crash on a restart back in 1984 driving the triple 0 car.  Lou recovered, and still attends the races today frequently, it’s always a pleasure to see Lou’s smiling face.

Additional Comments:  

Those who contributed the correct answer to the Mystery Driver were: Steve Fifield, who told us "with no help from Mom"
Arnie Ainsworth, Denny Young, Joe Grossetti and Marilyn Fifield.

Now Marilyn Fifield told us her and her son Steve got it correct. Somebody is lying to us!
Moms don't lie, do they?

We are looking for information and photos about the Valley's history.
