LAUER & CARRILLO RACING

This was the start of it all, a 1954 Chevy with stock 235 115 HP.
Check out the size of the slicks. They were made in Denver, Colorado
by a guy named Hank Sites.
The engine was built by an old stock car racer named Reinhold Naeb.
This was in the days when you flat towed your race car behind another
vehicle or drove the race car it’s self to the race.
This car met it’s demise on Raton Pass in northern New Mexico coming
home from the drags there. The tow bar busted and the car went over
the side of the mountain, several hundred feet below.
