"Wildman" Kelly certainly got his nickname honestly. Do you remember the time he trashed three different sprint cars/supermodifieds in three weekends and showed up on the fourth Saturday with a fuel injected flathead in a beautiful grey #77 '32 Ford (I think) and ran with the sprints? Ran well too. Glad to hear he is still around.
You are right, those were good times. I miss the greased pig races, corset races, 500 lap partnership races and all the other crazy stuff they did at Pittsfield. They knew how to promote. Do you know if anyone has ever done any sort of history of Pittsfield? All the best raced there. I remember the week before the first Knoxville Supermodified Nationals when a guy with a strange looking winged car came up from Kentucky on his way to Knoxville and blew everyone away. None of us had ever heard of Roy Robbins, but he did OK the next week at Knoxville too.
