WOW. They have had both Parnelli Jones AND Dominic Dobson as drivers. Talk about a dream team.

All kidding aside; that is a cool site and I think it's great that you guys are giving a documented history of Wilke Leader Card Racing. The Wilke family races much like the sun comes up. You just expect it because it always happens.

At the new 500 Grill and the Airport, they have famous numbers painted on the floor and one of the Wilke numbers are included.

Great site and tremendous photos. There is also a neat history of the Wilke family business over the years here. http://www.leaderpaper.com/about/index.php
Looks like lots of hard work and dedication to business used to work pretty good before these days of bailouts.
