I remember the car, Red was my hero, right color, badddddd flatdead, but I only got to see him a few times each summer, we weren't financially able to follow the circuit, and I know nothing of the history, all I know is, my first flatdead had a Clay Smith X cam in it, and it was so rough at idle, it would get the front end shimmying, and I'd have to curb it to get it stopped, my duece chassis just flexed too much. Those were some real race cars, built by real people, and driven by real men, I hung around Dan Walls garage in those days, and Crockett drove for him a lot, Dan had the baddest flatdead Ford 6 cyl there ever was, Nugent Autos Supply, Columbus Auto Supply, Kings Taxi Midgets, man, what an era to grow up in.
