Another early memory. One of those shoes was Jimmy Hemmings, who knew my dad. I barely recall meeting Jimmy once with my dad. I think, but am not sure, that my dad worked with Jim's mom for several years. And for more silly trivia not directly related to USAC/IMCA, I delivered mail to Mrs. Hemmings for awhile. But then in this town, there are several in the open wheel race community that I delivered bills, I mean mail, to.
Just how far east did IMCA run? I always associated USAC in those days with this side of the big river, for the most part, and IMCA running from the river west to the Rockies, or the Great Plains states.
