Groove Grabber,

I called my Dad to see what his recollection was, and he said, "Oh yes" I remember Cliff Cockrum, the Gold Duece." He said he thought it was a CAE car because it had a squared of tank. He dug deep into his memory, and he believes your dad drove the Busy Bee Ford coupe before he got in the Gold Duece, and that possibly Buchwheat Gates drove the Gold Duece at one time as well. He said your dad was really good, but they were all chasing his personal favorite, Gene "The Flyin' Eyeball" Hensen. My Pop has many fond memories of that track and those racers.
