In researching the racing on the old Imperial (El Centro), CA half mile, A.J. Shepherd won on March 5, 1960 driving Dizz Wilson's #70 Offy. He started his only Indy 500 the next year.

Richard Jackson, Dick Gaines, Calvin Gilstrap, Butch Wilkerson and A. J. Foyt are among some of the drivers in Dizz Wilson built cars. And didn't Mike Johnson also drive for Dizz?

Kevin Thomas drove for him. That is where I first met Kevin at Dizz's shop.

Scott Gerkin Steve Kinsers crew chief hotlapped it at haubstaut.

Ron Dorsett another mitchell driver i believe has drove for him.

I also think Bernie Graybel might have one time. and possibly Kevin Huntley.
