"I think Ron will do us a real good job." Heerensperger said. "He's very well thought of by the limited racing people. You know, nobody had heard much of Mickey Remund or George Henley before they drove the Pak. and he's got about the same kind of background. "And he never did have the top equipment when he was driving an unlimited."
The hull has 21 career victories. 16 as the Pak and five as Atlas Van Lines. It accounted for four straight national titles in 1973 through 1976.
Armstrong is a nationally prominent five and seven-litre driver. He was pitched out of the cockpit of the Seattle-based Value-Mart in his first race in Miami in 1974 and was involved in the unusual seven-boat final heat only six boats are legal on the course of the 1974 Tri-Cities races.
Armstrong drove the Valu-Mart in 1974 and his best performance was a third in the World Championship race at Tri-Cities.
