I remember tagging along with my dad and his friends liking the name Boom Boom.
Bill Fortune (R.I.P.) later went on to own several successful businisess and had the Thrifty Muffler decal (Hand painted) on a lot of race cars. Bill helped Josh along the way and was a guy you could depend on off and on the track, there are alot of families in and around Kokomo that were feed, clothed and kept warm by the guy they called Dog. Bill loved his family and he loved racing oh and he was pretty good at it too. (top five)
My dads dad played in the ballroom on the weekends and could tell stories that would make you smile, wonder and just plain make you think, racing back then was special as was the people that were involved with it.
