Yes, I remember the car/fire deal, happened on I65 between Seymour, and Columbus as I recall. And, he was a fantastic painter. Bob!

If you folks remember Dale Black you will recal his nickname was "Rev" Little Indiana trivia. Bobby, Dale and Butch grew up and played together as kids in east Columbus.

That ia very late picture of the Dizz Wilson car,well after
Carl Williams drove it. He was killed in 1973 on a motorcycle in Kansas. The car is a newer model-it has a roll cage built inside the car,has a weight jacker on left side. Well after the Offy era. Car mid 70's. Probably the last car Dizz campaigned. Best Regards, John |
