I went to every Hoosier 100 from 1960-1979. Those last few years we would go up to indy for the 100 and then head down to Lawrenceburg for the Fall Classic that night. Great time!
There are three names on that roster that only made very rare appearances on dirt after 1964, Gordie, Lloyd and Joe Leonard. They all ran some dirt after that but, not very often. I know Lloyd ran two dirt shows (Syracuse and Hoosier 100) in 1968 in the Gene White rear-engined Mongoose. At Syracuse, it had a turbo-offy in it. They made the show and was running 4th when something went wrong. Can't remember exactly what happened. At the Hoosier100 they had a DOHC Ford in it and just missed the show. I don't "think" Lloyd ever ran dirt after that. I could be wrong but I don't remember it if he did.
