When the North American Midget Auto Racing Series was in business, we used to be in the Indianapolis area a lot. One thing was, that I always took the time to stop by Howerton's shop and visit mostly with Jackie. I also would visit a little with his boys on the way in, but mostly with him. At the time, in the back of the shop, he was building a HOT ROD with a FORD engine in it. MAN, what a MASTER BUILDER, plus he was easy to visit with. My chit chats with him were always a "DESERT" before heading back up to Michigan.
I go to Arizona every year these days, wonder how to get in touch with him, anybody know?
