That's awesome, you should post a few photos of your car. You'll find several folks on this board who can relate, and are interested, in your story. My Dad drove midgets in the late 40's and 50's. If you need help this board would be a good avenue to find it.
I didn't see the crash your Dad had, in person, but I very much remember the photos. It was nasty. I remember one photo where his torso, arms and head are above the cage and he still had several flips to go. His photo must be beside "LUCKY" in the dictionary!
Anyway, good luck and keep us updated. :thumb
