Info maybe on Lester Duncan
 
Anyone out there remember the name, a friend sent me a photo from Dayton Speedway, musta been from the early 1930's, of a Lester Duncan racing there, in a "big car", then later in the short info, it went on to say he was killed at Columbus, In, in 1939, I was just curious at what track, I would have been 2 at the time, and I doubt anything was stored at that time in the huge cavity between my ears, I was able to find some more articles from that time period, on my smart phone, and read them, but couldn't save them, then today, can't find anything on my PC! Thanks

Bingo, finally some results, found the article on other than Google, Lester was 37 when he was killed in a big car race, at the Bartholomew County fairgrounds in Columbus, In. Born and raised in Morristown, Indiana, that is where he was buried. I think I may hove gone to school with is son, Tom Duncan, who also died at an early age, in a boating accident. Mystery solved!
