Top Photo: A lot of good stories came in from the LVC faithful about Charlie
Lewis and his “Risky Business” Troyer #73, who was a pretty popular driver at
the Valley in the 80’s, thanks in part to the rarity of having a pink race
car, that somehow, as LVC regular Bert Poland pointed out, that Uncle Art
called the “Purple Can”.
Charlie got his start in racing after
purchasing a Stan Wetmore #73, and after getting his feet wet for a year,
came out the following season with this immaculate best of everything Morollo
powered Troyer, quite a step up from his previous ride. Charlie gave it his all but didn’t
encounter a great deal of success, but did have some good nights as randy
Glenski got behind the wheel and turned in some good performances in the “Purple
Can”
Second: This is the vehicle that got Charlie his feet wet on the high
banks, a former Stanley Wetmore #73 (betcha I didn’t have to tell many people
who owned this car formerly)
