I have tons of pics from the late 50's through around 1979 when he drove his last race.

Let me know what you can come up with. I would like to use some good quality pics to include in the book, especially pre war pics since they are the hardest to find. I have been given access to several families racing pics so far including Gene Alldredge (1940-@1952), Bugs Hayhurst (1940-@1950), several older collections from other racing historians dating from 1913-1934, and I have meeting set up with another racing family that raced from 1950-around1970 I think. Anything will help. You can contact me thru email of FB for fastest response, or on here. Thanks!
