Shortly after that, i think both Kenny and Gary did some time in prison? correct me if i'm wrong.
Jerry was the first to go. He stepped out infront of traffic by their shop in Kansas City. Kenny and Ballough were the ones with the "Batmobile" as it was called. Yes, both Ballough and Kenny did time in prison. The unbelievable part of Kenny being in prison was that he read and taught himself how to write computer programs. This lead to the creation of Weldtech heads. They were the first successful cnc ported heads. Ricky started driving somewhere around 1971. He drove his father "Pappy's" car, winning 29 feature events in his first two years. In 10 seasons, he won more features than any other driver his father employed.
