Re: Larson in a Late Model. Tested a Longhorn & Rumley #6. P

Larson had a good WOO week at Knoxville. Finished first, second and first, ran 80 feature laps and grossed $67,000. Great money for a sprinter, maybe for a late model driver also.

Re: Usac: Darland moves into tie for second most usac sprint

I knew Bob Pratt was fast, 3 poles, when I rode with him to basketball practice back in the 40's. It did not matter if it was raining, sleeting or snowing, we got there first.
