My Dad raced against Chuck Amati,Dick Gaines,Bob Kinser, Sammy Swindell (when he was a 19yo hot shoe and showed up at Tri-state speedway) Steve Kinser (when he was very much a rookie at Paragon) many others. You would probably have to be 50-60yo to really remember these days. Back then no green race cars, no women or children in the pits and no #13 cars. Many moons and memories ago
Your dad could drive the hell out of a sprint car. I was rooting for the yellow #22 (if my memory serves me correctly) at Paragon, each week, as a kid. Wasn't he from Oolitic?
