First race was 1957 Toledo Raceway Park, dirt supermodifieds. Followed the supers on dirt and asphalt for 10 years watching Johnny White, Dick Carter, Dick Good, Gordon Dukes, Leo Caldwell, Joy Fair, Sammy Sessions, Gordon and Nolan Johncock, and the Beale brothers, Rollie and Al. First pure sprint race was spring of 1967 @ Eldora with USAC as we began to follow Rollie on his quest for the championship which was his but derailed by a flip and broken leg at Reading in September. From the 1950's to the 2020's, so many great wheelmen, my favorite racing is still the ballet on dirt with only the cage on top. See you in 2023!
