I recall a summer or two when Jerry Blundy drove a "super" on Sunday nights (when he wasn't off racing sprint cars somewhere) at the little track at Lincoln, IL. The track, long gone, was just northeast of IL 10, across the street from the fairgrounds. I think the car was a #117 owned by an explosives guy named Jay Ellis. Those Sunday nights were almost like an ATM for Jerry.
Thanks to Marv for rekindling some great memories, but it does remind me that I am truly an oldtimer* now.
