I've seen this webpage before. Always good to see it pop up from time to time.

A good ten years before I was born, my parents lived in Sweet Springs, Mo. and my dad attended a few races at Marshall. He was at the infamous race that Hooker Hood won in 67 which was called the Short Track Nats. I think he said it paid $5K to win (good money for that time) but there were all these really good cars there. Guys like the Weld's, Jay Woodside, Thad Dosher and I think Ray Lee Goodwin. And here was this outlaw from Memphis who was a few years older that came up and gave them all a butt kicking on the track haha. Hooker mentioned this race in an article about Rickey a couple of years ago in Sprint Car and Midget. The picture of Hooker on the second page of the website (#99 car with duals on the right rear) might have been the same car because my dad always talked about the duals.
