I live in a very very small town in SW MO... back in the 60s and 70s there wasn't a racetrack within 60 miles... but I can honestly say that Ernie Derr is a legend among every living local man between age 50 and 70 that ever went to a race. Everytime somebody comes in my office and starts talking about racing Ernie Derrs name ALWAYS comes up.... I never got to see him race but he sure musta been something behind the wheel of those big old cars.... RIP Mr Derr.
