Hi Al,
"Ziggy" was a Sprint Car/Silver Crown driver from Marshall, IL. He was the 1986 Paragon Speedway Champ. I worked on his car from '86 to about '89; when he drove for Don Glass (G&W Excavators #76) of Indianapolis. I know he ran everywhere from Granite City to Eldora, USAC etc... I don't know much about his early career; but we were running Paragon on a regular basis when they began racing winged cars every week. Ziggy said at the time that it was hard to break a 25 year-old habit of running wingless and get used to having the wing on top. He stopped driving in 1989 at about age 50. Jack was a good sprint car driver and one helluva nice guy. He was very patient with an enthusiatic 'NOOB' and I was fortunate to know him and learn from him. If anyone knows Jack or how to get in touch with him please PM me.
