A couple more from the 60's/70' era come to mind. Some of you here know Tim Caldwell from his help with various teams in the pit area. Tim's dad, Bob Caldwell raced a #4 and a #49 that I recall.
Kermit House #41 - Don't know if related to Tray House.
Doc Dawson #46 & Jerry Poland - Both later ran a lot of USAC.
Orville Yeadon #98 - Won the first 500 lapper at Eldora....yep, 500 laps for 33 cars. Larry Cannon #B4 won the 2nd and Don Nordhorn the 3rd and last.
Bobby Black - I think he was another of Danny B's Columbus guys.
Danny Bowlen - I remember the name. Think he was pretty good. Don't remember any other details.
Jon Peddie - From Madison, IN he drove a #19 but I don't remember if it was the Smith car or not. Chris??? He later moved into the Miss Madison hydroplane for awhile.
Disclaimer: Hey, I didn't start this thread. If this walk down memory lane bores you, blame Dave (fishnman). Also, don't hold me to the car numbers and any other details I have posted. While my memory is still excellent, it doesn't last as long as it once did. We're talking almost 50 years ago here my friends.
Time to get ready for Daytona qualifying (like Boss Bill said, "it's racing so I have to watch") and Hoosiers vs. Buckeyes.
