The clown at the Little 500 was Jimmy Kempher, he lived in Anderson, In. BTW Jimmy was deaf. I still think Sun Valley was a cool name for the track in Anderson.

Re: Old School

I'm only 38 but in my mind...

You might be "old school" if:

Mike's Pizza still makes you think of spectator races @ Kokomo Speedway.

High Dollar operation means you have two tire racks on the open trailer.

Nope, I have done all of those things at one time or another.

Up until 5 years ago I still had 3 Crosley TQ engines.

Re: Old School

You might just be old school if you have ever heard an Evinrude powered midget race. Rather unique!

Easy! Evinrude Light Twin Outboard. I cheated and googled. But, I do remember midgets with outboard engines. They had a distinctive sound and as I recall, a lot of exhaust smoke.

Didn't someone run one of those at the Chili Bowl just a few years ago?
Seem to remember a lot of talk about it and the car almost making an A-main til the motor puked.
