Rip snooky. I seen him race carl gilhausen offy sprint car in usac a few times!

I never saw him race or met him that I know of but a lot of great old racing stories float around this town include his name.

Saw him race many times. RIP

Joey,

Snooky's obituary didn't mention any details of his racing career, but Mike Blake had a nice tribute on WFIE on the 6:00PM news. Tom Helfrich had some interesting comments.
Snooky had an astounding number of consecutive feature wins in Dan Tucker's #76 sprint car, thirteen in a row, I believe.
They showed Snooky on the newscast with the G2 coupe with Double Cola sponsorship on the door. I didn't remember him driving that car. I always associated that car with Don Nordhorn. The G2 was owned by Gordon Ghormley, hence the G2 designation.
It was also mentioned that Snooky came from a family of fifteen children.

RIP, Snooky
