Thought I'd fill in the rest of the car owners not listed (from the Carl Hungness USAC Sprint History):
29 - "Boston" Louie Seymour 30 - Dick Hoffman 32 - David LeFevre 61 - Lee Brayton 82 - Carl Williams How about the results from the September 1970 race at Terre Haute? That was my 1st USAC race. I remember 3 things about that race: Bruce Walkup won the feature in the Seymour 29, Johnny Rutherford ran the no-cage Meskowski #15, and since I'd recently broken my arm playing football, and got AJ Foyt and Tony Hulman's autographs on the cast:thumb |

You know what, I was rooting for Duke that day, I think he drove a heck of a race and I believe in a couple more laps it would have been a different winner.
I know a couple post on here just to try to rile Duke up, but I'll tell you what, I bet you that you would have liked to do just 1/2 of what he did in racing. |

Was leading the feature at the fairgrounds and blew the new titanium rod motor all over the place. A picture of this (leading) is on the front page of the 1979 or 80 state fair program. That would have been a big win because leffler was not a dirt man.
