RJ REMEMBERS REBEL RACING

Matching Paint Jobs
In 1972  Herschel  McGriff and  Don "Rebel"  Selley  who Ralph Monhay  and I both crewed for   ,,  had  a TV show  out of Salem Oregon,, call  Rebels All Star  racing ..   It was filmed on Tuesday afternoon  covering all the latest racing news from the weekend  and aired the following Saturday Morning ,,   We used to tow the cars to salem and use they as a background  for the  TV set  while  Rebel and Herschel did the show  ..
 Herschel's  car was painted up with the same Rebel flag theme ( because Rebel was a Nashville Boy) as our  Tipke  modified    and I used to race a Jolopy at Portland on Wed nites  painted the same way,, The next year (73) Rebel ran the Winston West series  along with Herschel  with cars provided by McGriff   with the number 07     Here are a few pics of the ,,-- Rebel's  Car Stereo  Racing Team ,  Rebel Selley and his 07 car in 73,  RJ Dubonnet's  59 Buick Jalopy  ( WonderHog)   and  the  Rebel's Car Stereo Tipke Roadster at Salt Lake City  for the Copper Cup in 1972 ,,  We won the CAMRA   ChampionShip that year  (1972)
