Wow! You start tossin' names around and it could go on forever. LOL!
I know when I was a snot nosed kid my Dad took us to Fairbury, IL pretty often and little did we know that we were watching a couple of guys who would eventually race in the Indy 500. And that was when it was head and shoulders above any other race in the world in exposure and prestige.
Ol' Bub and Larry "Boom Boom" Cannon were at Fairbury every week.
It was a real treat when we'd get to go to Little Springfield. I remember runnin' around The Torsion Bar after the races buggin' the drivers for autographs, etc.
