Thank you aceace for posting this pics. My sister in law was the trophy girl in 71 or 72. She was Miss Sterling Edge, Sheila Johnson Clark. I'm like Don Hardesty as I too lost my stuff in a basement flood. I would love to find a photo of Sheila with a feature winner to give to her son. Sheila died in 1975 at the age of 32 with a massive heart attack.
aceace, I remember one night when your dad was in Big Bertha at Haubstadt and he got up on another sprinters back wheel and left the track in turn one. He just clipped a step on a wooden light pole and bent it. When they brought the car back into the pits that were in the infield at that time, the announcer said "Well folks, that cars a total." Well lo and behold it was there the next Sunday night and we knew it was the same car because of that chrome roll cage. There has been many a driver to pilot the old yellow # 22 with the chrome roll cage "Big Bertha" but your dad was the first and probably the best to ever drive it. Larry Miller, my hero even after he started driving the Gold Deuce.
