Fish, keep right on posting. It brings back old, good memories. Even as a youth in Illinois I got to see some of these guys. One Saturday night at the Pittsfield, Illinois speedway a guy from Kentucky showed up. We had never heard of him, but he smoked the locals (including Jerry Blundy if memory serves me), even though he had a little trouble going off the 1/2 turn into the bean field. Turns out he came through west-central Illinois on his way to races the next week in Knoxville, Iowa. His name was Roy Robbins and of course the races were the first Knoxville Nationals.
Keep up the good work.
