Indiana Open Wheel - View Single Post - The longest WoO sprint car race

Summer of '74 Mike Waltz was working for Taylor Plumbing (Bob,Jack) in Bloomington. This shop was a big supporter of racing. Mike started his apprenticeship program that fall. I used to drive Mike to Kokomo to catch sprint rides. Mike was raised around racing and the old timers watched him grow up. Mike didn't need power steering for he was tough as nails. Had he been born in Montana he'd been a bull rider. Engineer boots, bluejeans and flannel shirts seven days a week. A lot of folks 'round here miss that guy! RIP Mike
