aceace,
I grew up in S. Indiana and went to Haubstadt fairly regularly. Your Dad was one of my heros, along with Cliff Cockrum, Calvin Gilstrap and many others.

If I'm not mistaken, a group of fans put a "bounty" on your Dad after he won 10 features in 1969 at Haubstadt, which the track matched after he got two more wins. My memory is a little hazy after 40 years, but I believe one of West Memphis invaders (Hooker Hood?) ended up claiming the bounty on him.

Your dad was a great driver and a joy to watch! Thanks for the pictures and the memories!!

Steve
