Non wing and he was awesome.Destroyed the first one at Champange at the end of the season on the 1/2 mile and destroyed the second one at Springfield on the mile the second year at the end of the season.I believe it was 75 and 76.
THOSE WERE THE DAYS

I remember that 53. He also had probably one of his hardest hits at Kokomo in the 11 nonwing . Over the turn three wall. Landed right in front of us. Had a big egg on his forehead and concussion. He never came back on a regular Sunday show after that I believe. They don't call him the King for nothing. I'll never forget the time Steve and his dad both raced together at Kokomo in the 11's. Awesome!
