How about Orval Yeadon? Didn't he run over there? Bobby Black? No one mentioned Jay Wyatt yet? Mr. Staab?
Cecil and Marv named most of the guys I can recall. If I had a favorite it would have been Roy Robbins, from Louisville, KY.
Bobby Black drove Mike Gross's black #86 sprinter for a while in the very early 80's. Larry Martin also drove that car at the Burg. It was a leffler chassis. Jay Wyatt was a legendary stock car driver in this area. He did most of his winning in Jim Cook's ZERO car (after Karl Kiser retired). I guess we can't forget Ralph Lathem and Nelson Stacey either. Ralph's son installed my granite counter tops this past fall. He saw the picture of our sprinter on the fridge and we wound up talking racing for two hours! He was touched that I remembered so much about his dad. Man, I had forgotten how much I enjoyed the Cabs back in those days! I've gotten picky and selective in my old age! BTW, Danny, I'm 54 y/o
