Pat O' Conner Fan & racerjim2 I have several pictures of Bobby Carrigan in the Blue & White Camfield car. One of pictures taken at Macon has a #1 on the car. Another picture at little Springfield has a #57 on it.

Bobby may have driven for Camfield some. But he had his own car he raced on the Indiana track. I'm thinking it wasa CAE supermod and was red. Him and Gene Henson were both big winners.

Could the #2 car be Larry Miller?

Bobby drove for Oren Cunningham from Tilton,Il in the Mike's Grill Twinburger Special which was a red #1.

#2 might be Bill Dugger

#6 Bobby Brooker I think

#53 Bob Kinser

#46 Gene Henson

Don't remember seeing the roadster at all

I was doing some searching for Gene Henson info tonight and I came across a photo of the red #1 Twinburger Special you are talking about at www.freewebs.com/springfieldsspeedway/

Anyone else here remember an announcer who would warn "women and children" to move far from the fences when Jim Bob Luebbert went out to qualify? I know Jim Bob does -- he told me that himself in a store on 16th street quite a few years back !!
Jim Bob is still in that store, or at least he was still there in October. I stopped in to chat and have him autograph a couple of photos for me. It's called Speedway Embroidery and it is directly across from the 16th Street tunnel entrance to the Speedway. He is having some issues with the city of Speedway, they are trying to take his property away for some kind of new development. The city wants to pay him a fraction of what the property is really worth. But I'm pretty sure he is still there.
