Mike Duvall

[gator]

When you say Mike Duvall most everyone thinks about the Flintstone Flyer. Long time fans like me however remember life before those days, with a series of red and gold Camaros, numbers straight off a five dollar bill, and my buddy Earl's Speed and Custom on the doors. Mike Duvall in those days was a hard nose, take no prisoners racer. He was tough as nails and when he pulled in the track you knew it was going to be an interesting night to say the least. He didn't come to the track to make friends or fans. He came to win the race no matter if he had to drive around, over, under, or through you and he was fully prepared to do whichever it took. I saw him race a good bit back then at Cherokee, Metrolina, and Carolina and became a fan. I've built many Mike Duvall models over the years and just finished this one up.

Jackie, exactly what you just said describes ol' "Duvall." He was one to "let the rough side drag" as they used to say.
I remember one "Shriner's Race" over at Carolina Speedway he and my hero Freddy Smith locked up & Freddy ended up over the bank and in the trees. The two extremes in racing........

Outstanding representation of this car and I certainly remember watching it a lot back then.

Another nice race car, Gator! You must have built quite a few for fellow racers by now.

Great job as usual Jackie. I really like those years. I thought the Camaro looked Bad Ass with the fenders opened up and the front valance just barely above the asphalt. That red and gold paint scheme is killer.

Thanks everyone. It's good to be back. I lost the link for this site and couldn't get back on. Thanks to John2 For helping me find the way back.

  Great looking dirt late model......didn't get to see this one in action and I don't recall seeing it in any print media back in its day.
