Comment: There was always something unique about Howie's
#9c's.... The first car I remember was around 1972 or so and it was a
wide bodied yellow Falcon, that I think became the wide bodied black and
silver Falcon. The car was very open and you could really see Howie in
there working the wheel. I remember Howie in that car in the 1974
season, and maybe even a little beyond. At some point though, Howie showed up with the really cool looking smaller bodied Burnett racers... always black, always #9c. The one above was black and silver and was followed by the black and gold racers. Howie would also drive the white #1A owned by Benny Sheer, the Rio Bros #R10 and more, but I always think of the number "9c" when I think of Howie. I also remember how Bill Singer would mention him during the line up as being from "just down the street..." Always super cool cars... Always fast.... and always a favorite! |
