Altamont 1975 - Bobby Baker of Salt Lake City, Utah in the Norman & Walters Chevy. I think this was a Tipke chassis. Baker actually qualified Nick Rescino's car for the A-main (the series was all based on driver, not car.) , he qualified third without ever havng sat in the car before his first qualifying lap. (Rescino set fast time)

Altamont 1975 - Rod Furtado's #9. I always thought this car looked like an AMC Gremlin! (Check the roofline behind the driver). He qualified fifth for the A on this day.
