Thanks for posting this. Man did that list bring back some memories. I remember Jerry Blundy very well in the red 33. His son Cliff later drove and was in the family blue 33. I don't recall Cliff ever being as good as his Dad. Hal Minyard, along with an engineer, invented the McHal helmet out in California. In fact, I still have one that he gave me when I was 10 years old. It fit me perfect and wore it when I ran my mini bike. Hal drove for my Dad for almost 10 years and was inducted into the sprint car hall of fame last year at Knoxville.

Dick Sutcliff was a big dude and yes his son was an outstanding ball player.

Junior Smalley was a blast to watch at Eldora. He used the wall just like Hewitt, before Jack started racing. Back then it was a steel guard rail so Junior would bounce off of it. He also wore one of those bubble shields on his helmet.

I remember Danny Bowlen and I think he drove for my Dad once or twice. I wonder if the 56 he drove was the Shields car?

Ed Angle was a hard charger and I got to watch him race a lot at Kokomo and Paragon.

IMCA was my first introduction to sprint cars. We traveled all over with my Dad's car in tow. As a little kid, I got to go to a state fair about 4 times a year!
